Waking up with a dry mouth from time to time is normal. Sometimes it could just be because you are thirsty, or because you haven't had enough water during the day. However, if this has been happening frequently, it is a sign that you should never ignore.
Your body is giving you a warning and you need to seek help. According to experts, this sensation of dry mouth, or xerostomia as it is scientifically known, occurs because the salivary glands are producing little saliva.
It is good to know that there are factors that contribute to this, such as aging. There are also some diseases that can cause dry mouth. Such as immune system disorders characterized by dry eyes and mouth, HIV or AIDS, diabetes, among other conditions. However, not everything is a disease.
There are habits that can alter your pH and cause you to wake up with a dry, bitter mouth, such as smoking and poor hygiene.
What should you do to change this situation?
First of all, seek medical help so that he or she can assess your case, perform tests and identify what is happening to you. In some cases, your health can be improved with some small changes in your habits.
