I think so, I also have been recently having acid reflux and have ignored it. Thinking it was anxiety. But my saliva has not only been increased but "slimey" and thick. Are you taking an antacid?

It can be, yes. (I've felt the same, always on the right side for some reason.) Once the GERD is under control that goes away. Takes a while though.

Yes, it can. Increased salivation is a common symptom of GERD: the body produces more saliva to counteract the increased acid production, since saliva is the body's natural antacid (very effective, too).

I think I've heard that it can cause excess saliva production. Maybe see your dr if you are concerned and stay upright when sleeping if that helps. Sorry I don't know more to help you
