Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have sjogren's syndrome - wake up very dry like I'm dehydrated and I need to wear a night guard due to having TMJ and I also have anxiety - I've been waking up with a rapid heart beat which goes down after I drink water and take deep breaths - lasts about 20 minutes. Could this be from having extremely dry mouth as well as the anxiety? I have been to the doctor and my xanax was upped to twice a day.
dry mouth ,, palpitation, sweating all are result of autonomic instability due to anxiety sympathetic discharge from brain in response to stress can cause this
