Many people have a strange experience during sleep. Waking up in the morning, one side of the pillow is wet and completely alone! For adults, this situation is as uncomfortable as it is embarrassing.

Many people think that this is probably just a common thing. But doctors say otherwise. Drooling during sleep may not always be normal.

In some cases, it is an early warning of a major problem in the body. Consultant Chest Physician, Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine of Kailash Deepak Hospital. Dr.

Loveleen Sharma shares a very important information about this. According to him, when we are in deep sleep, our mouth and the muscles around the mouth become completely relaxed. In this condition, if one listens lying down, tilting to one side or lying on the stomach, it is not possible to swallow the saliva normally.

As a result, it comes out easily. It is quite common for this to happen sometimes. But the problem is, if this phenomenon becomes a daily habit.

According to experts, it is not right to ignore the sudden increase in the amount of saliva. If the nose is blocked due to a cold or an allergy, then people are forced to breathe through the mouth. This also results in more saliva.

A bigger reason can be 'Sleep Apnea' (Sleep Apnea). It is a complex problem where people repeatedly stop breathing during sleep and suddenly wake up with suffocation. Besides, such symptoms may appear even if there is difficulty in swallowing food or there is a latent complication of nerves and muscles.

So when is it necessary to go to the doctor? Dr. According to Sharma, if there is severe snoring problem at night with drooling, difficulty breathing during sleep, sudden change in speech pattern or body weakness, then one should consult a doctor immediately.

To get rid of this problem, you can change the sleeping position and sleep upright with your back. In addition, it is necessary to maintain internal cleanliness of the mouth and treat nasal blockage.
