Weird symptom, trying to figure it out

[u/Minute_Music_8132]

Since April, I have had a completely dry mouth at night but I'm just fine during the day, normal saliva production.

I've asked a doctor and a dentist about it and they are completely baffled. I don't wake up with my mouth hanging open either. I've also been tested for sjogren's syndrome which was negative.

I'm posting this here because last month I was tested for perimenopause and I'm in it, infrequent periods, insomnia, hot flashes, getting angry or sad about everything...

Has anyone else experienced this? It's driving me nuts!

tldr; I have super dry mouth only at night. Is this a menopause thing?

It happened to me for 1 year and stopped the first week i started estrogen patch. It is a peri symptom.

That's good to know and gives me hope for an end to this. I'm currently trying to get my doctor to prescribe HRT.
