What's wrong with waking up in the morning with a dry mouth and a bitter taste in your mouth, sometimes all day long?
Many people may have experienced this, wake up in the morning after the mouth dry mouth bitter, sometimes all day bitter mouth what is the matter? What part of the body has a disease or a normal performance. Today I am here to summarize the possible reasons.
First, normal physiological phenomenon. Healthy people wake up at night or get up in the morning after a few moments will have a slight sense of dry mouth, bitter mouth, this symptom usually does not last too long if it is a normal physiological phenomenon. Dry mouth and dry climate is generally very related, it is recommended that indoor use of air humidifier.
There may be oral diseases. Diseases in the mouth can often lead directly to dry mouth and bitter mouth, such as teeth with caries, mouth ulcers, gingivitis, etc. These diseases can damage the oral environment, so that the mouth is not clean, and bitter mouth odor occurs. In particular, people who do not brush their teeth before going to bed at night are more likely to experience dry mouth and bitter taste in the morning.
Third, there may be gastrointestinal diseases. When a person's gastrointestinal tract is not functioning well in terms of digestion, the phenomenon of bitter mouth may occur, and Taoist medicine believes that "all illnesses within, must be manifested in the outside." The spleen opens the orifices in the mouth, and the taste has a great connection, if the spleen and stomach fire, then after getting up in the morning there can be a bitter mouth and dry mouth performance.
Fourth, it may be that the liver and stomach are on fire. According to Chinese medicine, damage to the liver and gallbladder and the upward movement of liver qi will affect the function of the spleen and stomach, which may lead to high dampness in the body, spleen deficiency, weakening of the digestive function, interference with the normal functioning of the spleen and stomach, and the deficiency of the spleen leading to less saliva and indigestion. If the liver fire is hyperactive and accompanied by diseases such as cholecystitis and bile duct stones can also cause bitter mouth symptoms. At this time, you can eat more bitter melon to reduce liver fire. Avoid oily food. Chinese medicine believes that the liver and gallbladder dampness and heat will lead to clear gas can not rise, turbid gas can not fall, turbid gas upward causing dry mouth, bitter mouth, bad breath, you can consider taking some heat and dampness, dredge the liver and drain the gallbladder of Chinese herbs.
For the morning after getting up often dry mouth, bitter mouth crowd usually must eat more light food, especially green vegetables to eat more, it is best to drink some stomach porridge at each meal, such as millet porridge, red bean porridge, sago, etc., is conducive to strengthening the spleen and stomach.

[What's wrong with getting up in the morning and having a dry mouth, and sometimes having a bitter mouth all day long?]
To analyze this for you from a doctor's perspective, let's look at it in two ways:
scenario one: Bitter mouth and dry throat in the morning or at night, dryness in the mouth, dryness in the mouth, the feeling is more obvious, the daytime symptoms are almost none, this situation is most commonly associated with the breathing pattern at night is somewhat related to the night, at night, when we are deep asleep, breathing through the mouth, the airflow will be friction with the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, pharynx and throat, resulting in the night we will have a bitter mouth and dry throat, dryness in the mouth and astringency in the mouth.

There are a lot of patients, do not recognize this problem, said I have been breathing at night with the mouth it, did not use the mouth to breathe ah; here I want to say is, even if you do not recognize, if the symptoms I said this law, every time is sleeping after waking up, even sleep mouth can be dry to wake up the characteristics.

Friends who have obvious symptoms in the morning or at night or during naps, basically this situation and regularity characteristics I mentioned, the most common are nasal congestion (allergic rhinitis, turbinate hypertrophy, nasal polyps and other nasal disorders), snoring, respiratory sleep apnea syndrome and so on.

This situation can go to the hospital otolaryngology or to the hospital respiratory department to do a respiratory sleep monitoring, to clarify the situation, the diagnosis is clear, the treatment is effective, otherwise eat more drugs may have little effect.
Second scenario:What's wrong with getting up in the morning with a dry mouth and a bitter taste in your mouth, sometimes for the whole day? This is most commonly seen after a cold or fever;

Or patients who take certain medications orally (side effects of antidepressants). There are also patients who are chronically constipated; patients with gallbladder, stones and other but systemic diseases;

To summarize its main also is the lower jiao dampness and heat, or solid heat fumigation of the liver and gallbladder, resulting in bile upward, and the emergence of dry mouth and bitter mouth, bitter mouth and dry throat, its symptoms are often no regularity to speak of, no matter whether it is when sleeping, or usually appear.

When you get up in the morning with a bitter mouth, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, most of them will have the Shaoyang meridian qi not being able to relax and develop smoothly. In the Chinese medicine system, a day can be divided into four stages: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Wake up in the morning is the human body's "spring rise" stage, is also the Shaoyang meridian qi rise.
The state of a peaceful human body, after a night's rest, is such that in the morning the chi operates as follows.Liver Qi and Spleen Qi rise and clear, Gallbladder Qi and Stomach Qi descend, Lung Qi descends and the Heart and Spirit are stabilizedThe formation of a good elevation and circulation of the internal organs.
But if there is a problem somewhere in the body, this elevation system is no longer balanced. For example.Liver Qi and Spleen QiIt could not be raised, and one felt giddy and sluggish.Stomach qi and bile qiWhen it does not descend, there is a bilious and bitter feeling in the mouth, and in some cases the breath is also very big. In other cases, there will be non-stop sneezing and sniffling from the morning onwards, with no improvement until noon, and this is also a sign of unfavorable elevation and circulation of the liver and lungs.
So why is there such an unfavorable circulation of chi? I'll list some possibilities here:.
- It's too late to sleep at night.From 11:00 to 1:00 is the time when the Gallbladder meridian works, and from 1:00 to 3:00 is the time when the Liver meridian works. Through the work of these two organs, our body's blood has to be hidden, so that the next day can rise smoothly. Otherwise, the next day, it is easy for the gallbladder qi to go up and appear bitter mouth symptoms.
- Lack of dietary restraint. Late night snacks, in particular, will make the spleen and stomach work non-stop, the stomach is strong and the spleen is weak, and when there is pent-up heat in the stomach there will be a lot of bad breath.
- Long-term physical exertion and deficiency of Yin and blood. Because there is not enough yin and blood to carry the qi of the liver and gallbladder, the Shaoyang qi will be stagnant and upturned, causing bitter mouth and nausea in the morning.
- The presence of phlegm-dampness and water-drinking in the body hinders the normal elevation of qi.This situation is also relatively common, the functioning of the body's qi, will be these phlegm dampness water drink "drag". Typically, it is those patients with morning sneezing and severe rhinitis.
There are a few more conditions so I won't list them all here. I hope that after you understand the causes of the formation of dry mouth and bitter mouth in the morning, you will have some understanding of the functioning of the body's qi :) Then, exactly what should be dealt with should still be combined with more physical manifestations and dealt with by your doctor :)
In fact, some simple and easy to understand that is the spleen and lungs are not good, often eat and drink cooler things, irregular lifestyle, fishy and spicy things to eat too much lead to.
As long as there is a regular life, drink more boiled water, more exercise, morning and evening routine is normal, a little control of fishy food, do not drink too much cold drinks nature will not feel the mouth bitter, bad breath and so on, this is the majority of people will encounter the matter of hope to friends and friends useful, this is my own insights, their own previous so, little by little to change over.
