It has a HUGE part of the sympathetic nervous system. Which is also known as the "flight or fight response." When you are in a nervous situation, your body takes energy from your digestive tract, to make you more stronger, and ready for anything. Your brain reacts as if you are ready to fight or run. You might be confused on why all of this has to do with Dry Mouth. I get Dry Mouth everyday, from being nervous at school. (more so with exams/test days) If you know that there is going to be something that will make you nervous that day, chew gum, or a sugar free candy will help. I hope this answers your question. Take care!

Is dry mouth sympathetic?

Yes, dry mouth, or xerostomia, can be associated with sympathetic nervous system activation. The sympathetic system can inhibit saliva production, leading to a feeling of dryness. This response may occur during stress or anxiety, where the body prepares for "fight or flight" situations, diverting resources away from non-essential functions like saliva secretion. Additionally, certain medications that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system can contribute to dry mouth.
