Hi, I am confused and frustrated with my lack of understanding and knowledge regarding this observation/issue and would appreciate any insight...
I’ve been feeling super thirsty for several months now with out the ability to feel hydrated. I drink at least 2 gallons of water a day. My skin is very dry even with lotion, which is unusual because I normally have oily skin.
I have recently added extra salt to my meals as an experiment which has seemed to have helped some. I am unsure what is causing this and neither does my doctor.
I have POTS which might have nothing or something to do with it. I know my medication is not causing this problem nor consuming to much coffee or tea. The weather is not causing this either. I feel stuck.
I am now thinking some type of electrolyte imbalance and yet have no idea how to know if this theory is accurate. By understanding my need for an excessive amount of water that still leaves me thirsty. My goal is to hopefully improve my constant need for drinking water every few minutes to have a more balanced system.
If anyone has any experience with this issue or has any feedback. I would greatly appreciate it
