Why Does My Mouth Keep Producing So Much Saliva? Posted: 08-10-06 15:03pm
I am a 25 year old white male in good
health and good physical condition, no
allergies that I know of. Over the past
2 weeks, for some reason, my mouth has
been producing a lot of saliva non-stop
and it's forcing me to keep swallowing
like every couple of minutes. This
constant swallowing is upsetting my
stomach, I am getting heart burn and also
my esphogus and throat feel like there is
almost something stuck in there (like
right in the center of my chest it feels
like I have something stuck in my throat
sort of). In the morning it's usually
the worst with producing a lot of saliva,
and throughout the day the saliva
production continues but slows a little.
At night when I go to bed I have no issues
with saliva and I sleep well and have no
heartburn, etc. This just started
happening and i'm wondering if it could be
something caused by maybe allergies I am
starting to get or maybe stress and
anxiety I may have, etc.. Is there any
medication I can take to stop this or
could it be something more serious. The
more I 'think' about my mouth producing
saliva the more it happens. I notice
that if my mind is concentrating on
totally something else I don't appear to
have this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
thanks!

I've never heard of it but I would suggest
you see your gp about it for sure. Don't
wait for people to tell you what it is.
Anxiety - people usually have dry mouth.
