Has anyone experienced dry throat/mouth with their anxiety?

I had a good day yest but I woke early hrs this morning with very dry throat/mouth which makes swallowing a bit harder and feel I am having to try to hard today to try and stop an attack or keep the anxiety at bay

I am drinking loads of water but it's not helping.

      I suppose all you can do is drink and keep on with your normal anxiety techniques to get through it? x

      Yep the only thing you can do and only thing I can give you as advice is try not to keep swallowing so much let as much sorry for it sound gross but spit build up in your mouth so then you can swallow it down I freaked out before I thought I wasn't producing any lol but it's just the more you think about it the worse it become crazy anxiety for you hun xx
