I am 23 years old and constantly feel tired, have a dry mouth, and drink about 6 liters of water daily due to excessive thirst. What could be the reason for these symptoms, and what medicine should I take?
At 23, experiencing constant fatigue, dry mouth, and extreme thirst (drinking 6 litres of water daily) are classic symptoms of elevated blood sugar, which could indicate Diabetes Mellitus (such as Type 1 Diabetes). Another less common possibility is Diabetes Insipidus. You should not take any medication without a formal diagnosis. It is critical that you see a doctor immediately for blood and urine tests, including fasting blood glucose and HbA1c, to determine the exact cause. Once diagnosed, your physician will prescribe the correct treatment, which may involve insulin or other targeted medications. Please seek medical evaluation promptly.
