Hello,
Your excessive thirst and urination could be due to uncontrolled diabetes.
Other reason could be loss of electrolytes and dehydration due to water pills like furosemide and spironolactone.
Get your serum electrolytes and blood sugar levels checked and then take necessary action accordingly.
Thanks
