Dry Mouth, Dry Lips, Drinking Water Nonstop While Going Outside. What Could Be This?

For the couple of weeks I have been drinking alot of water almost nonstop (very thirsty) which is causing me to pee nonstop. The past couple of days I have had a very dry mouth and dry lips and things are looking unfocused. It is usually if I go outside and I am thinking it's because of the polon. I have been tested for diabetes, blood pressure, etc and everything is normal. What could this be?

hi,
this symptom of excessive thirst is called Polydipsia.
most common causes are
1.diabetics.but as you already have got tested for that,we can rule out diabetes
2.pshycogenic polydypsia- A special form of polydipsia. it is usually associated with a patient's increasing fluid intake due to the sensation of having a dry mouth.
3.zinc deficiency
zinc the body to absorb fluids more efficiently (reduction of diarrhea, induces constipation) and it causes the body to retain more sodium

thank you,
wishing you good health
