Hi! i'm avi, mostly at night saliva comes all over my mouth but my all medical reports were ok. recently i had a appendix surgery, is it a obsession?

Not abnormal: Drooling is defined as saliva flowing outside of your mouth unintentionally. It is often a result of weak or underdeveloped muscles around your mouth. This is not an uncommon finding. Side-sleepers are more prone to drooling during the night simply because gravity is causing the mouth to open and allowing drool to pool on your pillow. Try sleeping on your back

I'm going to request a barium swallow this week, but 8 weeks post Nissen and when I swallow I have a gurgle and what seems to be excess saliva. Albeit, less than before surgery. Am I being impatient and should watch this for a few months to assess?
