Thirsty…….?
I am a 13 year old girl. I woke up about an hour ago EXTREMLY thirsty, and in the past hour I have had like 10 or so glasses of water, and I am still VERY VERY thisty. I did not eat lke anything salty last night, or at all yesterday, and I have not had anything but 1 small bowl of special K w/ whole milk. Any ideas as to why I am so thirsty? And what I can do about it?
BTW my older sis’s account was down 2 wks ago so she used mine to ask a question, the other question is not mine.

You could be diabetic, get checked out. Otherwise, you could just be dehydrated.

Well considering that it’s hot in many places, maybe you’re just exhausted and sweating from the heat. Try swimming during the day in cold water and try not to do anything too vigorous. Wear thin clothes so you don’t overheat.
However, another possibility is that you have diabetes. A common symptom of diabetes is frequent thirstiness due to blood sugar problems. Ask you parents to see a doctor soon.
There may also be some sort of feminine problem, but I doubt this. Nonetheless, I’m not a doctor, so I’m not so sure. Take a safe route: if you think your condition is extreme, then go see a doctor.

Take a little salt with your water. Sometimes when it is so hot, your body dehydrates. A little salt will actually help your body absorb the water and use it effectively.

Hello, if this continues….You should tell your parents about it. They can make an appointment to take you in to see the Family Doctor. Because excessive thirst & feeling the need & drinking a lot of water can be a sign of diabetes. Any family history of diabetes in your family? This is something you need to have checked out by a doctor. Just tell your parents & then go from there to do the best thing for your body!
