I am a 23 year old female. I am healthy and I eat a proper diet. I usually only drink water (4-6 glasses a day). I do have a sweet tooth though. Since Jan 10th of this year I have had dry mouth. It feels like it is more my tongue and the roof of my mouth. My saliva seems ok under my tongue and inside of lips at times. My tongue is white and my saliva gets frothy. I do experience dry eyes at times, but it is the winter and it is VERY dry where I live. I am not on any medications and I wasn’t at the time. The only thing I was taking was a prenatal vitamin because I am spacing out my pregnancies. I have tried 3 different meds for oral thrush (my doc said I had it) but the dry mouth feeling never went away. Since the beginning of 2009 I have been under alot of stress and anxiety and depression now because of my mouth. I know anxiety can cause dry mouth, but for almost 2 months?? I have been tested for diabetes, and I do not have it. I also do not have HIV. I had a virus right before I got my dry mouth. Also I have had alot of sinus problems since 2007. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
p.s. I do have GERD.
