Can anxiety cause a dry mouth?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes. During an anxiety attack, you are more likely to breathe through your mouth. All of that air passing through your oral cavity can dry up your saliva.

I'm having trouble with shortness of breath that's been around for about three years, and sometimes I also feel a bit of chest pain on the right side. I went to see a chest physician who did an X-ray and said everything looked normal. He suggested I should see a psychiatrist because it could be tension-related. I'm feeling a bit lost here. Is there really a connection between tension and these physical symptoms? Should I still consider pursuing more tests for my breathing issues?
