Ask The Doctor - Why Am I Drooling In My Sleep?

The doctor is in! The PIX Morning News' Dr. Steve Salvatore is here to answer your questions:

1. Recently, I've been drooling excessively in my sleep. Is this a sign of a breathing disorder or sinus problem?
Desiree

2. I've been on the pill for 10 years and stopped last month. Are there side effects when you stop taking birth control after extended use?

3. My pinky always tends to cramp when I text with my Blackberry. Why?
