Question Posted Wednesday September 29 2010, 4:09 pm
I drink LOTS of water on a daily basis but I remain thirsty all the time.In the middle of the night,I wake up and drink almost a bottle of water only to wake up an hour later with dry mouth and very thirsty.I do eat salty things ,but this happens almost every night and every day that I am this thirsty. I don't smoke weed, I don't do any type or drugs or drink or anything. My mom told me that diabetes runs in our family and that this may be a sign of it,yet I haven't been seeing any other signs except maybe I've been a lot more tired recently. Should I see a doctor? Should I cut out salt? What else could be the cause of this? Thanks very much!

Although water is good, drinking TOO much can be bad for you, and so a simple doctors visit will enable you to find out what is really wrong. After all, why risk it?
