Production Of Excess Saliva, Have To Spit Out. All Tests Normal. Unable To Diagnose. Treatment?
Hello,
I'm 23, and since I'm 14 I wake up 3 times per night with my mouth full of saliva. I have to spit and rinse my mouth to be able to get back to sleep, or if I'm too tired I spit and put a tissue in my mouth to "absorb". I did all sorts of medical exams, everything seems normal, doctors can't explain what it is. I tried to change alimentation habits, sleeping positions, environement, but nothing worked. When it wakes me up, the saliva is thick, I have no dental problems and don't take medicines. Lots of people seem to have the same problem (from what I read on the internet), but nobody know 1) Why it's happening 2) How to stop it.
Thank you for your help and time,
Amélie

Many people do have such complaints and it does not pose health hazard.
Just relax and stop worrying.
No point in doing extensive online research for the same.
Relax
Leave it to nature and it will be taken care
