Constant thirst may signal health risk
Here in the U.S., we're fortunate enough to have clean drinking water at our disposal almost at all times. As such, when we're thirsty, we either fill up a glass with some tap water, take a sip from a water fountain, or spend a buck-and-a-half on a bottled water. Whatever method we choose, the end result is the same: we're no longer thirsty.But what if a glass or bottle of water isn't enough to satisfy your thirst? And, what if you're excessively thirsty all the time? HealthCentral.com reports that this may be a sign of a serious health problem.
Health Central lists the following causes of excessive thirst, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine:
- A side effect of certain drugs, including anticholinergics, demeclocycline, diuretics or phenothiazines.
- Significant loss of water or salt, possibly caused by not drinking enough water, profuse sweating, diarrhea or vomiting.
- Significant blood loss or loss of body fluids, caused by an underlying health condition.
- Diabetes or diabetes insipidus.
