Question

why would your mouth go all dry all of a sudden... what are some psychological or physiological reasons?

Answer 1

Excessive thirst is a symptom of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) deficiency .............. eat more foods rich in this vitamin ie: fish, cantaloupe, cabbage, blackstrap molasses, unmilled rice, eggs, oats and peanuts and walnuts.

Vitamin B6 aids in the proper production of natural antidepressants such as dopamine and norepinephrine.
It is also essential in the conversion of tryptophan, an essential amino acid to niacin .......... tryptophan is one of the natural feel good drugs. B6 will also reduce night muscle spasms, leg cramps, hand numbness and naturally work as a diuretic (eliminate fluid retention).

Things that could be robbing you of your B6 are things such as trycyclic antidepressants, oral contraceptives and pencillin.

Other symptoms of B complex deficiency you may be suffering from are headaches and migraines, nausea and vomiting, fatigue and exhaustion, irritability and moodiness, inability to think clearly, depression, excessive sweating, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities and even chest pains and heart palpitations !! Quite scary actually if you don't realise the vitamin factor.

The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and therefore our bodies can neither store or produce them. As such we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are.

When we are placed under extra stress ie: school studies, new job, everyday life really .... our bodies will usually use up our precious stores of the B complex first to deal with the stress.

If you are vegetarian or lactose intolerant and choose to supplement your diet with a multi B complex supplement get one including all the B's ie: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best together.

Try also to avoid the B complex thieves such as alcohol, caffeine, sodas and soft drinks, tinned foods ...........:0)

Answer 2

If you are on medication, this is usually a side effect. Mouths tend to dry out from nervousness, dehydration, stress, excitment. I don't believe there is a psychological reason why anyone's mouth would dry out.

Answer 3

Stress, a momentary anxiety, breathing through the mouth -- these can make your mouth dry. Also, as someone has already mentioned, the person could be a little dehydrated.

Answer 4

If that's all you are dealing with you may be dehydrated and simply need to drink some water. If you are taking any meds they can cause dry mouth too, but the answer once again, is water. Drink up.

Answer 5

Panic can cause dry mouth as well. Any other symptoms? I wouldn't worry about it overmuch unless you start seeing a pattern or it happens frequently.
