What Causes Coated Tongue In The Morning?

When I wake up in the morning, I have a coated tongue and salty taste in my mouth. I also have a heavy nasal drainage for about 2 months. I am worried that this is sodium buildup or something like that which is bad for me because I have heart disease and hypertension.

Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern.

I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion.

Having this salt sensation, nose secretions and this tounge coated feeling might be related whith a oto-rhyno-laringologic problem.

Having a sinusitis might cause chronic havy nose secretion.This secretion might pass to larigs and give you this sensations.

So, in my opinion you should consult an orl specialist and make a sinus rx.

If this is excluded than you should consult a gastrohepatologyst for a potential gastric problem for this tounge coated feeling.


After this it is possible to diagnose something and treat it.

Hope I was helpfull.
Best regards, Dr.Ervina.
