What Causes Dry Mouth Along With Fatigue?
I have had dry mouth and bad taste (salty) along with fatigue which rest does not help for about 6 weeks now my doctor has done several blood tests and ruled out anything major such as leukemia and deficiencies the last test was for epstien barr because at one time I had mono and the test came back positive for Post epstien barr but the nurse could not tell me how long ago the post meant. Now my wife is starting the have the same symptoms not sure what is going on since I ve had this for so long and it doesn t seem to be getting any better

Hi,
A dry mouth can occur when the salivary glands in your mouth don't produce enough saliva. This is often the result of dehydration, which means you don't have enough fluid in your body to produce the saliva you need. It's also common for your mouth to become dry if you're feeling anxious or nervous.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
