Does Dry Mouth Indicate Diabetes?
21 '5'10 and 240 i have had blood work done within the last 2months to see if i had anything and they said i was healthy because i thought maybe i had diabeties but they said i didnt. the reason why i thought that was because anywhere i go i feel like i ALWAYS have to have something to drink with me if i dont then my mouth will seem to dry up and if i dont have nothing to drink with me then i pass out or die or whatever happens when your mouth dries up. And it seems when i drive far distances after like 15-20mins on the road i seem to feel like nervousness and i feel it come on and like my heart starts beating faster then dry mouth starts to come on and i dont like that because i feel like its stopping me from going places that i want to go. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN/SHOULD DO?

Dear friend i can understand your concern
in my opinion you might be suffering from condition known as psychogenic polydipsia.
this is not a very difficult condition to treat.
kindly check out weather your blood work up include test like serum sodium,urine sodium,urine osmolality and AVP hormone essay
kindly consider psychiatrist with all this reports and discuss about possibility of psychogenic polydipsia.
