Neurology

Drooling from one side of the mouth can happen when the muscles or nerves controlling saliva aren’t working evenly, which may be due to medication side effects or a neurological condition such as Parkinson’s disease.

Drooling on one side of your mouth can happen when the nerves or muscles on that side are not working as well as the other side, making it hard to swallow saliva evenly.

Hot legs at night can be linked to how your body regulates temperature during sleep and may sometimes be related to conditions like restless legs syndrome.

Saliva dripping from the side of your mouth can happen when too much saliva is made or when you have trouble swallowing it, which is often seen with certain nerve or muscle problems.

Producing a lot of saliva can be a normal reaction or sometimes a sign that your body is trying to protect or clean your mouth, but in some cases, it might indicate an underlying issue.

Hot palms and soles can be due to conditions that change blood flow and nerve signals in your hands and feet, such as palmar hyperhidrosis or hand-foot syndrome.

Drooling on one side of the mouth can be caused by differences in how your muscles and nerves work on that side, which may lead to extra saliva pooling there.

Excess saliva on one side of the mouth can happen when one salivary gland or its control system acts differently than the other, causing more saliva to be produced or not cleared well.

Slight drooling from one side of the mouth can occur when the nerves or muscles on that side do not manage saliva as well as on the other side, which may happen in early or mild neurological disorders.

Sudden drooling during sleep may happen because your mouth’s muscles relax, you swallow less often, or medications increase saliva production.

Strategies to reduce drooling while awake include exercises and self-management techniques to improve swallowing and muscle control, as well as medications or therapies when needed.

Sudden, excessive saliva production can result from changes in your body, medications, or even stress and hunger cues.

When you talk, you may notice saliva collecting at the corners of your mouth because you're swallowing less frequently and the natural movement of your lips can allow saliva to pool.

A sudden increase in saliva can happen when your mouth makes extra saliva or you’re not swallowing as often, which can be caused by reasons like burning mouth syndrome, certain foods, or even changes in your body.

Saliva leaking from the corners of your mouth can happen when your body makes too much saliva or when you don’t swallow it regularly, often due to muscle control or nerve issues.

Yes, a stroke can cause memory loss by damaging parts of the brain that help control memory and thinking.

Seizures can sometimes lead to memory loss by affecting the way the brain records and stores memories. The memory issues may be temporary or last longer, depending on the individual and the type of seizure.

Yes, trauma can lead to memory loss. This can happen from a physical injury to the brain or from intense stress that affects how our mind processes memories.

Some people, especially older adults, may experience short-term memory problems after surgery with anesthesia, but these issues are usually temporary. Memory loss isn't a guaranteed effect of anesthesia itself—many factors can influence it.

Epilepsy can sometimes affect memory, especially long-term memory, with problems related to the location of the seizures and the age when epilepsy started.
