Is having a dry mouth the same as bring thirsty?
October 26, 2009 - 7:17 am
because I’ve noticed I have a dry mouth, but I’m not necessarily dying of thirst. But I do carry a bottle of water around because a dry mouth can get annoying.
It really depends. I get dry-mouth when I am sleeping, but that is because my sinuses get so stuffed I can’t breathe so I end up breathing through my mouth. I wake up so dry sometimes I can’t even swallow.
No it’s not the same as being thirsty. When I wake up dry, I don’t want a drink, (well I have one to moisten my throat), but more like something to suck on for a while.
As always, if you are seriously concerned, please go see a medical professional…
All the best…
Cheers

In most cases it’s an indication that your body is telling you it needs water.
