    Throat gets dry even though I drink a lot of water. Other than that, my neck sweats a lot while the other parts of my body doesn't.

    Hi dr. B. This is an interesting topic for me since I do get very dry mouth, but mostly during the night. It happens practically every night and I can feel it starting to happen just as it gets closer to my bedtime. I don't have any extreme breathing difficulties nor allergies nor do I take any medication. Imbibing some extra glasses of water before hitting the bed does not help, either. Food isn't an issue neither since I typically don't eat anything several hours before going to bed. I have mentioned this to my doctor(s) on several occasions, but any useful advice is still forthcoming. This has only been going on for the last 5 years or so and I've mostly grown used to it, but it's still quite bothersome.

    @@craigvera7993 hello, no, I have not. The problem is still present to an extent, but it's been a while so I've kind of gotten used to it. Lately we got into a series of hot nights so exacerbates the issue a bit, but I still don't think this problem is related to breathing through the mouth as that's a completely different sensation. I haven't, however, tried using mouth taping. I am not aware that a related product is available in my area.

    @Minika Etim hi, if I do, I'll let you know. But it does not seem likely. And it has been a while so I got pretty much used to it. Previously it bothered me, but now I accept it for what it is and try to move on. The single most beneficial thing I could have done for the quality of my sleep is hitting the bed earlier. Who could have known that, right?!

    Hi Dr. B, I would like to point out that while an ENT can be critical to restoring nasal breathing, dentists have a unique role with their capacity to deliver appliances that expand the maxilla and remodel the upper airway. Dr. David G. Singhs DNA/Vivos appliance, and Dr. Ted Belfors Homeoblock achieve this even in adults. I think you would find Dr. Mark A. Cruz's Airway Mini-Residency really quite fascinating, though I suppose with you being next-door to Stanford you may already be aware of much of the information covered. Still, I can't recommend attending the program enough to medical professionals.

    I just came across your videos. I appreciate your content! I have several autoimmune diseases including sjogrens. I’ve tried oral medications to increase saliva production but they make me so sick. I constantly drink water. I’ve tried the Biotene also. I battle cavities. My previous dentist shamed me and made me feel like a child that had done something wrong (I’m 46!). My new dentist is younger and he “gets it.” Do you have any other ideas to deal with the dry mouth?

    Never thought of mouth taping. Anyone in the comments find that helps at all? Dry mouth affects my sleep. I wake up at 2:30am like clockwork for the last 2 weeks. So dry can’t even talk. I drink water but then cannot get back to sleep. Sleep deprived now and it’s getting very scary!

    Hello woow am having the same issue and yes is very scary. I wake up drink water with ice and then cant sleep again. I starting having this issue after having a very bad nose congestion and ear that its getting better so I think is because i breath to my mouth and having my ac and fan on top of my bed might be the cause. But is too hot in miami cant sleep without fan and ac.

    Hi there, have you test your glucose, this was happened to me, when your blood sugar is high can cause dry mouth or if you take supplements and don’t drink enough water, I quit eating sugar and carbohydrates and using sesame oil pulling first thing in the morning and at night time. My dry mouth problem went away. Look up on KZread video under oil pulling benefits. Give it a try , best of luck to you.

    late response but it means you lost your appetite, you want to eat but you can’t because you may feel a sort of weakness and nausea when you try to eat.
