Brief Answer:
Need the measuttement of waer intake and urine
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your question.
You have mentioned that you driink 6 cups of water a day. What is the volume of each cup ( 100 ml, 200 ml ?)
Could you please share your height and weight ?
Any recent blood works like creatinine ?
Any urine test recetly ( particularly interested if you have ketones in urine)
Any medicine intake?
Urine output volume measurement would be helpful.
Noted your symptoms of drymouth, sweating, insomnia and excess sweating. These could be signs of anxiety. Do you think you are worried/anxious ?
If that is the case, these symptoms can last as long as you have anxiety.
Do you have regular menstural periods? Perimenopausal symptoms also could cause these symptoms
Would appreciate a reply
