Saliva!

[blondegirly]

why do you end up with excessive saliva when exercising? in my case I have just got a new bike after years without and am loving it but almost gag because the exertionseems to produce so muchsaliva. is it just because I am heinously unfit?

I didn't know you did.....that's minging. Please don't tell me the same thing happends when you are having sex.

It is one of the effects of adrenaline - increased heart and breathing rate, secretion of sweat and saliva etc.

Classic signs of the unfit, essentially your body is calling for more oxygen and enerrgy your lungs are doing their best to supply the blood, as is the heart, your body is shocked by the unusual demand, are you a smoker by chance? Just keep with it and you'll get fitter and it'll get easier

occassional smoker! thank you very much although I will perhaps be less hasty to advertise my fitness or lack of to all and sundry on the message boards! will try to avoid all hills until fitness levels improve! thanks again

I had an exercise bike but never had that problem.
