I’m highkey surprised I’m not overhydrated (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

For some months now (quite a few) I’ve gotten into the habit of filling up water bottles to place by my bed at night so that I can drink water when I need to. But I feel like the amount I drink keeps increasing. Originally I was fine with one bottle. Then I started finishing it and bringing a second as a backup if I do drink it all. Now im finishing that bottle too. Each bottle is 1000 mL, while the typical plastic bottles (like Poland Springs) are 500 mL each. So basically im drinking the equivalent of 4 of those. I do think I should stop drinking quite that much but I hate the feeling of being thirsty so much Life just has to be annoying like that ig.

Its fine to drink that much as long as its not in one go. You can drink around 3 to 4 liters a day. As long as you do it spread over the whole day. Your kidneys can process around 0,7 to 1 liter water per hour.
if you drink those two bottles in like 1 hour, I advise you to go to the doctor

I don’t drink that much in an hour. More like in 2 hours Though I usually finish it off when I wake up in the middle of the night ig so even longer than two

Yeah that’s fine I guess. And it’s always nice to have something to drink if you wake up. I think about it too sometimes. Cuz if I ever drink too much, it could be diabetes since it’s a symptom. And my dad had it so

My grandma told me that too I don’t think anyone In my family had it though as far as we know.

If you are unsure, talk to a doctor. Better safe than sorry.

Thats good! Less chance to get it so that should be a bit of relief. When my dad didn’t know he had diabetes yet, he drank a lot like crazy. It was also hot in the middle of the summer. He just kept drinking huge glasses of iced tea. Multiple in under an hour. So I think it will be obvious when you should go to the doc. Or maybe it is different per person

Yeah you’re right.

I just don’t know if it’s worth it going to a doctor over one symptom that I should already expect due to other medications I take. Maybe if I get something else that isn’t quite so easily explained but with just this idk.

It probably does vary with person and stage. I’m just not really expecting it to be diabetes because I don’t know of any other symptoms I have and one of my medications is supposed to cause increased levels of thirst, so this can be pretty easily explained to some level by that.

Yeah it’s probably just that then. Or youre just very thirsty
But the medical world is so huge. It could be nothing but it also could be a lot of different things. Nobody is 100% healthy

It could be a bunch of things yeah. I just don’t know if it’s likely to be diabetes, and while some tests for it can probably show something different too a lot wouldn’t I’d think. So unless I had an idea of what negative thing it could reasonably be it wouldn’t be a ton of use going to a doctor asking about diabetes I feel. I might look into what it could be if it was something bad though, filtering through the “it can be 1000 things and you’re probably going to die tomorrow” type stuff

Yeah I don’t think its diabetes either. I think you’re just a little more thirsty than usual. As long as you don’t think the two bottles within an hour you’re fine.
“it can be 1000 things and you’re probably going to die tomorrow” is what I feel like every day
