What Dripping Nuisance.

I have noticed lately that I tend to salivate when talking for several minutes. It is more intense when I am sitting, for I begin to dribble; 'tis worse when I nod off, waking up to sometimes find my shirt damp. (Luckily, this latter situation has occurred only at home.)
--> Can anybody, who has similar symptoms and has a possible solution, be kind enough to advise what one must do?
I am thinking that some sort of exercise of the mouth muscles would ease the problem - apart from the obvious eating, drinking, talking, kissing. Perhaps more of the latter would help!
Thank you.

There are countless possibilities listed here:

However some are clearly more likely than others. As your profile says that you're male, pregnancy can probably be ruled out and I doubt that you've got rabies either ;-)

I also tend to dribble at times and put it down partly to mild gastroesophageal reflux disease and partly to a gap in my teeth which seems to provide a convenient exit point from my mouth for saliva.

So you might need to ask both your doctor and your dentist for advice (or, if you're like me, simply put it down to old age and accept it!)
