Hi all,

I am diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety disorder. I also have health phobias.

I noticed over the last few days that I am producing more saliva and more aware of my swallowing of the spit. Trying to figure out what caused this. I did smoke a cigar the other day but unsure if that could of caused it. I do not smoke cigarettes and only smoke a cigar every couple months.

I seem to be swallowing more or am more aware.

Anyone else have this issue?

Hi Yankee,

I am sorry that this worry has popped up for you recently. It does seem that anxiety always have something for us to be concerned about doesn't it?

I think that unless you are unable to keep the saliva contained...as in outright drooling...that you can probably chalk this up to an anxiety trick. Often we notice some little change in our system, and become focused on it due to worry...

Working on some health anxiety self help should help you get back on track...and will see this concern fading from your mind. If not, checking in with your doctor is always an option...

Wishing you quick relief!

S.C.

Do you have any heartburn issues? Those can manifest in the form of excessive saliva/swallowing issues.
