Brief Answer:
Information
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
How long has this been going on?
What do you mean by "but still pops up"?
Are you taking any daily medications and do you have any ongoing health problems?
Here are my thoughts:
1. If you are drinking a lot of water because you are thirsty, this may be diabetes.
2. You may have a neurological disorder.
3. You may have an electrolyte imbalance.
You definitely need to go in to be examined, in person, including a general neurological exam. And I recommend a few lab tests to start with: CBC to look for infection, blood glucose to check for diabetes, urinalysis for infection and diabetes, electrolyte panel to check potassium and sodium. A couple of other things that would be worthwhile would be a liver function panel (a blood test) as if the liver is not working well, a person can have tremors, and a thyroid blood test too.
But if you have fallen down, you definitely need to be examined in person. Make sure that you see a real MD, not a physician's assistant, not a nurse practitioner.
