I'm super thirsty all of the time. Could this be a symptom of something?

Answer 1

Hun, you are probably dyehydrated. Try drinking water and Gaterade/Poweraid only... If this does not help, see your doctor, it could be something more seveare......


Mild to moderate dehydration is likely to cause:

Dry, sticky mouth
Sleepiness or tiredness — children are likely to be less active than usual
Thirst
Decreased urine output — fewer than six wet diapers a day for infants and eight hours or more without urination for older children and teens
Few or no tears when crying
Muscle weakness
Headache
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Severe dehydration, a medical emergency, can cause:

Extreme thirst
Extreme fussiness or sleepiness in infants and children; irritability and confusion in adults
Very dry mouth, skin and mucous membranes
Lack of sweating
Little or no urination — any urine that is produced will be dark yellow or amber
Sunken eyes
Shriveled and dry skin that lacks elasticity and doesn't "bounce back" when pinched into a fold
In infants, sunken fontanels — the soft spots on the top of a baby's head
Low blood pressure
Rapid heartbeat
Fever
In the most serious cases, delirium or unconsciousness
Unfortunately, thirst isn't always a reliable gauge of the body's need for water, especially in children and older adults. A better barometer is the color of your urine: clear or light-colored urine means you're well hydrated, whereas a dark yellow or amber color usually signals dehydration.

Answer 2

insatiable thirst along with frequent and urgent urination could be a sign of diabetes. if you are having any type of vision problems or extreme fatigue, or severe abdominal cramps please have your sugar checked immediately in an emergency room if you have to.

dehydration or a number of other possibilities come to mind

try to find a clinic that will give you an annual check up and talk all your symptoms over with a physician.

try drinking water and no soda or caffeine. if you are drinking more than 1/2 your weight in ounces (130 lbs divided by 2 would be 65 ounces of water a day) then you need to figure out why. carbonated drinks and sugar laced drinks do not quench thirst. and caffeine depletes your body of hydration causing you to need to drink more.

Answer 3

Yes a few things could cause this. Diabetes for one. But its hard to give you diseases with just that. So judging from what you have said you might be healthy. But if you have drought give us more info on symptoms or go see a doctor.

Answer 4

sometimes it can mean diabetes, check with your doctor. I was thirsty all the time and had a few other problems and the first thing they checked me for was diabetes. hope this helps.

Answer 5

Only thing I've ever heard was Diabetes, if you have the other symptoms, talk to a doctor

It depends to why you are always thirsty. Are you skinny or overweight? Maybe the environment also affects you being thirsty all of the time. Please give more details so that it would be more clear for us to answer your question
