can anxiety/ocd cause excessive saliva in the mouth? it feels like i am constantly swallowing and my mouth has been getting dryer from inside with all the saliva

i have had a Barium swallow test, ent scope study and GI doctor put camera check my throat and stomach and everyone has said everything is fine

so could focusing too much on one part of your body cause symptoms?

its like i am swallow and more appears in mouth
than other times my tongue gets so dry that it sticks to top of my mouth inside

Not a doctor based on other's experience - it is possible to have dry mouth which causes more saliva to produce. Is there a trigger? Does it happen when you get nervous? Are you taking any meds? certain ones can cause it.

Well from all that I would say it could be stress related or it could be a coincidence. Again I'm not a doctor but 7 people saying you're alright physically (no swallowing problem from what I see posted) would lead my guess to those two things. You take any OTC's?

Ahh that allegra might be your culprit. Otherwise it could be worry. Anything you can do to keep your mind off it?
