Worrying Very Much

[sslimie]

Hi is swollen salivary glands a sign of stress. i also have dry eyes and dry mouth. I am currently suffering from oral thrush. can oral thrush be caused as a result of dry mouth? I got HIV test a month back and all tests came back negative. I had sex a year ago.

Thanks very much for your response. I am not really sure if i am stressed, but feeling anxious about my health from a month. I got Rheumatoid test done and it is normal. Thyroid normal, wbc normal,no hiv. I also feel dizzy and experiencing diarreah. I am too worried at this stage.

i got an appointment with an Oral surgeon on 29/11/2010.

Hey, I'm pretty sure a dry mouth sensation can be associated with anxiety but if you have dry eyes and swollen salivary glands it's probably wise to see your doctor - i take it you've done that if you've had an HIV test. There are some rheumatological problems that can give you dry eyes and mouth.  
Are you someone that gets stressed/anxious often? Is it worry about medical problems that gets you stressed?
Hope you get to the bottom of it!
