What Does Piece Of Skin Below Curve Of Tongue Indicate?

Hi, over a couple of days at the back of my mouth just below the curve of my toungue is a loose piece of skin/toungue that has appeared that flaps about when I swallow and can be felt touching the back of my throat. It doesn t hurt at all but It feels like it s fairly attached to the toungue, it doesn t cause any breathing problems but is just irritating. Should I go get this checked out.
