I Have Started Drooling!

[hellywelly4]

I've noticed that for the past few months my chin gets wet without me realising it. Usually it's on the right hand side. My pillow isn't wet when I wake in the morning, so I don't think I'm doing it at night.

Does anyone have any idea why it's happening? I'm 75.

Thank you

No big deal helly...........this is common in the elderly.....excessive salivation.
Don't worry.

Oh gawd, is this something else to look forward to;-)

[jennyjoan]

Along with fiddling with your buttons of your cardigan. LOL

[ladybirder]

And dribbling.

Love the phrase "common in the elderly"!! Thanks Sqad, at least I know it's relatively normal. I haven't got to the stage of fiddling with cardigan buttons yet, but you never know.

Yep...there you go, Helly....one more thing to let us know we're ageing....

It's when your bladder joins in you need to worry....... :-(

[hellywelly4]

That's already started gness! Usually just as I get to the bathroom door!

[gness]

***, isn't it.......☺

Loving the related post below 'Gness is declared normal'!

[gness]

Oooo that wasn't sweary at all!

[gness]

Still reckon that was a mistake, Psybs.......xx

[Psybbo]

Alavahalf......that's really worrying....worse than drooling......☺

I started drooling on Saturday. Mind you, I was watching Cillan Murphy so excess salivation was to be expected. I have not seen a doctor.

When talking to my neighbour 65+ (Guessing) he often has a bit of drool swinging from his chin defying the laws of gravity, he seems in relatively good health and I think he's unaware that it's happening although a little distracting and being such a sound fella that he is, I just can't bring myself to mention it.

[anneasquith]

I'm sorry, but since when has drooling been normal " in the elder!y" ?

[hellywelly4]

Tilly - had to google CM. Nice but not as nice as Tom Hiddlestone - swoons....

We all practised as babies.
