it all started when i woke early one morning feeling very sick to my tummy.. oh,and my mouth was veryyyy dry. (which isnt that abnormal when u first wake in the morning) so i thought nothing of it till it kept getting dryer and dryer while i sat in the bathroom rocking back and forth trying not to puke!lawd i hate puking lol... . 20 mins praying to god i WOULD NOT PUKE LOL... finally i started feeling a little better(or so i thought).
I had a brief bout of A-Fib, and the ER put me on 15mg Diltiazem every 6 hrs. My physician a couple of days later bumped that up to 30mg/6hrs. Around a week into taking the drug, I lost most of the sense of taste; sweet, sour, salt. Initially I just had a tiny sense of "savory" as the only thing I could taste. I began to not be able to eat, because everything made me sick to my stomach. I read in the Diltiazem side-effects that this is called "taste perversion".
It really depends on what you need. If this has been prescribed for you, and you are uncertain about it, then you can always ask your doctor for more clarification. It really just all depends on your individual circumstances.
I have been everywhere on the web and here and nothing seems to fit, until i did some research and saw that dry mouth is sympotmatic of diabetes. Can anyone shed some light? Its more of an inconvenience than anything else. I can still swallow, doesnt affect taste, throat isnt sore, sleeping is not a problem. I should also mention this doesnt happen everytime and its also varies in dryness. I am going to be changing from a GP to Internest within the next couple of months.
During the medicine for the reflux I start to have dry mouth and toothache . The toothache went off after 2 weeks and dry mouth is start around .My tongue started to have strange and irradiated feeling like scalding tongue and the upper wall of my mouth also have irradiated feeling . Now I start to have bloated stomach .I really don't know what the main cause of this . Is it anxiety ,reflux or other illness .
Then I started oil pulling bc I looked up dry mouth and throat and some pretty weird things came up. Like sorts of gum disease. Oil pulling helps kill and pull all the toxins out of your mouth. I'm much better now. Still a little dry but I can sleep. Then about my hip (left side) I started stretching (the best I could lol) and made sure I had lots and lots of back,belly and leg support which really helped. I hope you feel better and Congratulations!!!
I am a 47 year old woman with terrible dry mouth. I have had several tests and the doctor can't find anything in the blood tests. This is miserable! Could this be a symptom of perimenopause and is there some type of medication that could help? I have tried many over the counter remedies and nothing seems to help.
Is it actually the feeling of being thirsty or just having a dry mouth? If your mouth is feeling dry try sucking on a hard candy or swishing your mouth out with water or mouthwash. If you feel like you are dehydrated unless you drink that much water that warrants a visit with the doc. As coffeebuzz said that can be an indicator of many different issues including diabetes or kidney issues to name a few. How often are you using the bathroom?

t seem to get rid of my thirst. I will drink. Until. My stomach hurts and I still feel dry. I hardly ever drink enough and when I am pregnant I try to drink enough and the way I know I am drinking enough is that I won't be thirsty. I just wish that I did not feel like I am thirsting to death. I even feel light headed and dizzy. And tired which is normal this early in pregnancy but it makes me feel like I am really thirsting to death. Glad to know I am not the only dried out pregnant woman.
Lately I've been waking up and like 2am with extremely dry mouth... is that normal?
It can be due to conditions that lead to dehydration, such as fever, excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhoea, blood loss, and burns can cause dry mouth. Dry mouth can be due to medical conditions like diabetes, thyroid problems, anaemia, cystic fibrosis.
Certain measures will help like- Drinking plenty of water to help keep your mouth moist. Sucking on sugar-free candy or chewing sugar-free gum. You can also use an over-the-counter artificial saliva substitute.
What worked for me , I kept a water bottle on my dresser while I slept each time I would toss and turn I'll take a sip . By the time I woke up my mouth wasn't so dry . I hated it so bad . They usually say in my family that it's a symptom of having a girl lol but then again everyone thinks differently . Hope the tip works ! God bless .
Keep a bottle of water next to your bed. That's the only thing you can do. I have already asked my dr. He said since the baby is basically pushing everything up, your lungs are also getting pushed, so when you sleep it causes you to breath faster and more often. That's what causes dry mouth. He told me to keep water next to the bed. So when i wake up i can take a drink.
thier is adefrence netween feeling that you have a dry mouth and really having one. when you have a dry mouth the sides of your mouth start to hurt and yiou get ulcers that bleed. your tooth will start decaying becuase saliva contains substances that stop tooth decay. when you have a real dry mourth not the one fron anxiaty you will find it hard to eat bread or any other dry food.
