Hello,
I've noticed that i get severe dry mouth when i get anxious, nervous.

Does this happen to anyone else?

all the time santo, all the time.

as an actor, and prior to going out onstage for a performance, dry mouth would always be one of the most persistent symptoms.

after getting out there, and performing, this went away.

but always just before going onstage i would get dry mouth.

Hey Santo, i get that too but once the anxiousness goes away I drink something then I am ok. Hope that helps!!

Yes, that happens to me too. I find it's because when I'm having anxiety, my stomach is so tense that I have a hard time eating or drinking so I become dehydrated.

I just make it a point to drink as much water as I can during the day.
