    I get that way sometimes. I find it happens after I eat too much protein. What have you been eating lately?

    Here's what I found:

    Definition
    By Mayo Clinic staff

    Excessive saliva — increased amounts of saliva in your mouth — is usually a temporary problem and rarely cause for concern. Normally, your salivary glands produce 1 to 2 quarts (0.9 to 1.9 liters) of saliva a day. However, because swallowing occurs continually and unconsciously, you don't generally notice the saliva. If you suddenly seem to have excessive saliva in your mouth, it could be because your salivary glands are making more saliva than usual (sialorrhea) or because you're swallowing less often.

    I am glad you asked the question because I wondered too;)

    Sorry for the juvenile reaction earlier. This is from the Mayo Clinic website:

    Excessive saliva can be a side effect of some medications, and excessive saliva is common in the early months of pregnancy. Difficulty swallowing, which can lead to excessive saliva, may be caused by muscle or nerve damage in your mouth or throat.

    ...could you possibly be...
