But how far exactly is a light-year? Light travels 186,000 miles per second. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365 days in a year. Multiply these together to get 31,500,000 seconds in a year. Multiply that times 186,000 miles per second and you get 5,850,000,000,000 miles?about 6trillionmiles.
It can also occur daily when stuck in traffic, dealing with an illness or when worrying about finances. Long-term stress or anxiety can lead to many health conditions and symptoms, including dry mouth or xerostomia. If this occurs, there are treatments for dry mouth due to stress that can be tried.

There is an increased amount of stomach acid as a result of stress and anxiety. Testing, including my own office tests, has shown acid reflux to make it as high as into the back of the nose. True dry mouth does not feel like thirst or that âparchedâ feeling you get when working in the hot sun. It feels like cotton is in your mouth, and you can drink all the chilled water you want, and your oral cavity will still feel dry, as though the inside of it is lined with cotton. Itâs a weird sensation.
