Trouble Swallowing Saliva

Does anyone here have trouble swallowing your saliva? I can swallow food and water just fine,but just awhile ago I can't seem to swallow my saliva. I seriously do not need this on top of my other anxiety symptoms 😂 Anyone have any tips on how I can rectify this?

Hi again keptainicandozatt, I wanted to address this separately. When we are extremely anxious, we can experience many different symptoms. Some experience extreme dry mouth while others can feel excessive saliva. With excessiveness, we feel as if at times we are drooling or produce so much saliva that we can't swallow it.

It all boils down to once we focus on a body part and a symptom, it tends to increase. So distraction is the first thing to try. Turning your attention onto something else usually helps.

GERDs may and can also give you that extra saliva symptom. Only a doctor can diagnose with that. Whatever the case, it is not dangerous but extremely annoying. Check it out with your doctor and I think things will turn around for you. The answer lies with you. x
