Purple spot on tongue

I noticed a purple spot on the back of my tongue 2 days ago. I’ve posted some pictures. It isn’t visible normally as it’s on the very back of my tongue.

I’ve been in a complete state of worry since and haven’t slept or anything. My dentist doesn’t open until next week and I don’t know what to do.

My wife says it looks like a blood vessel as she can see veins near it.

Please help me.

For anyone else who sees this or has a similar problem. I saw my dentist today and has a full screening, X-rays and checkup. It’s all normal anatomy and the purple spot is a tastebud near a blood vessel.
