Dribbling

Posted , 2 users are following.

Lately, I have been dribbling while asleep. When I arise, the top I am wearing is pretty wet. It only happens from the left hand side of my mouth when I sleep on my left side. I am in my seventies, in decent health, no heart problems or strokes.

    Me too Harold. I'm 75 and have been dribbling from both corners of my mouth while sleeping for some years now. Unfortunately, during the last year or so I've also noticed it happening from the right side, albeit to a lesser extent, while I'm awake.

    As far as I'm concerned, this is just one of the many indignities of old age that we have to accept and live with. Like you, I'm in good general health, so things could be a lot worse, couldn't they?
