I'm feeling uneasy because after having an endoscopy, I started having pain in my windpipe when I swallow food. On top of that, I sometimes experience mild to moderate stomach pain, usually when my stomach's empty like in the mornings. I never had any issues like this before the endoscopy, and now I'm really worried that there might have been a perforation in my stomach when they took a tissue sample, especially since I felt pain in my stomach during the procedure. Could this be serious? What should I do?

I've been really worried since I had this scary episode last night. I was sleeping when I suddenly felt like I was going to vomit, and when I did, I ended up throwing up a lot of blood. It happened four times, and the last one had a dark brown color while the others were dark red. I also had a huge coughing fit. What could be going on? Should I be concerned?

I'm dealing with a lot of saliva production, especially in the mornings when I wake up. Within minutes my mouth gets full of saliva, and I have to keep spitting throughout the day to manage it. It's a bit better after I brush, but it's still an issue. What's going on here, and how can I get this under control?
Excessive saliva production, also known as hypersalivation, can have various causes such as medication side effects, GERD, infections, or neurological conditions. In your case, since the issue improves after brushing, it could be related to oral hygiene. I recommend using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% solution twice daily after brushing. Additionally, you can try using tablets containing atropine sulfate 0.5mg to reduce saliva production. If the problem persists, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
