I've been suffering with a very dry mouth, lips and nose for years now. I can cope during the day by taking sips of water, using Vaseline on my lips, etc. However at night time it is seriously disrupting my sleep as I wake up every half an hour when my mouth feels parched. I have tried having a humidifier in my bedroom, which helps a little bit. I have tried Sterimar and also saliva spray. I've been to ENT who could only recommend the Sterimar.
The only medication I am taking is Atorvastatin and half a tablet of Stilnoct.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions as it is seriously disrupting my sleep. I know that I snore, which would account for the dryness at night time, but surely this would not account for the dryness during the day. I am 62 years of age, so is it perhaps an ageing process, although nobody I know suffers with this complaint.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
