The past couple of weeks I have been extremely thirsty. In some days I remember drinking nearly a gallon and a half of water just in 24 hours. I sometimes wake up extremely thirsty and need to drink 2-3 glasses of water. As a matter of fact, im drinking yet another bottle of water right now. I usaully drink just water, but I drink Gatordade too. I hope there aren't any serious health problems. Could there be something wrong? If so, what could it be?

You should call your doctor at once to see if you are diabetic or have kidney problems. It is very unusual for people to get that thirsty for no reason, other than what I have mentioned.
