When I exercise, and often when I'm not excersising, my mouth is REALLY dry, like I have cotton balls in it and the feeling gets worse when I excersise. I haven't always had this problem, until about 3 weeks ago when I started doing my aerobic program. Is a really dry mouth a sign of dehydration?

this usually happens around this time of year. you are fine. just drink a lot of water. to see it you ARE dehydrated, your tongue would be kind of white in the middle and your urine would be very yellow. just make sure that you urine is clear or looks like fresh lemonade!

If you have started taking any medications this can cause dry mouth. Make sure you drink lots of water. Have you ever been screened for diabetes, this also can cause dry mouth.

Drinks lots of water while you exercise. Pinch your skin (softly) on your hand if it goes right back into place, you are not dehydrated, if it stands up for a couple seconds, you are. That's how I tell if my patients are dehydrated.

While being dehydrated causes thirst if you cannot relieve your thirst by drinking and it occurs when you are not exercising you might want to be checked for diabetes since excessive thirst is the number one symptom.

Yes, you need to drink more water, or liquids, preferably water, you sweat out a lot when you are working out and if you are already low, this could make a big difference.

If you are mouth breathing you will get dry mouth. Are you breathing properly?

usually thats the case.
You could have some abnormal glands- but other than that- have a bottle of water ready when needed.

That always happens to me when I'm getting sick. It also happens after a basketball game.
