Sore on tongue?
You already know smoking is bad, right? First thoughts always dysplasia (weird, abnormal cell growth) - usually caused by infection or viruses (like HPV - which are causing cancers in young people at an alarming rate). Get checked by an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist or Oral Surgeon/Dentist. READ MORE
Minor soreness below sternum when touched or pressed?
Probably job-related muscle strain/sprain aches - like working out too much does. "Stop pressing on it if it hurts when you press it" LOL After-work yoga, hot-tub/ice bath would be nice. Taking a couple Tylenol or Motrin (NSAID) would help if pain/discomfort persist. READ MORE
Thyroid issue?
Your provider should be looking at your TSH not T4. Adjust the dosage according to it. READ MORE
