2. Dry mouth

During an anxiety attack, people tend to breathe quickly through their mouths. This can cause a person's mouth to become dry—which is not to be confused with thirst. Another reason that a person may develop a dry mouth during an anxiety attack is due to increased stomach acid. The body takes a cue from the mind and goes into panic mode, wreaking havoc on the digestive system. This can trigger acid reflux (although a person may not even be aware of it), killing off the healthy bacteria which keeps the mouth hydrated.
