Hi guys just curious if anyone with silent reflux/GERD has hypersalivation?

I dont have any of the standard GERD/reflux symptoms [pain, burning etc] but I suspect some kind of silent reflux. I have constant hypersalivation that seems to be over-producing saliva and I can see it coming from the bottom of my mouth [sublingual gland?]. I have to constantly swallow excess saliva. This is 24/7 except while sleeping I don't notice it or it doesn't happen I guess. I also have a mild dull pain in my throat when speaking.

Just curious if anyone has had this and what I can try to help it [PPI? etc]

thanks!

What are your symptoms of reflux? If you do have silent reflux or Gerd then it is quite a common symptom, your body over produces saliva In order to swallow and therefore neutralise the excess acid.
If you haven't already done so, loosing weight (if you need to) figuring out what your trigger foods are and avoiding them and in some cases ppi can help.

HI floridadud23,

I have exactly the same symptoms as you and I was just wondering if you ever managed to sort them out?

Thanks,
Amy!

Hello
I do have that hypersalivation, my GERD is with atypical symptoms, I can sleep with any trouble too
Try chewing bubble gum, for me it helps with that symptom
Hope it helps
