What Causes Dry Mouth And Tingling Sensation In The Arms?
Hi .. I feel fine just wondering if anything is going on. This is what I am noticing.
Drinking a ton of water ( More than I already do )
Dry mouth at night and in the morning when I wake up.
Urinating a lot probably because of all the water I drink.
Sometimes when I reach for things I get a little tingling in my arms.
I have been losing weight the last 6 weeks but not dieting.
I am going to be 60 years old. relatively healthy. eat good and healthy food.

Hello,
If you have dry mouth, and excessive urination in the night and morning only and not throughout the day, then it can be probably due to mouth breathing at night that can cause dry mouth. But in case if the dry mouth and excessive urination present during the day also, and there is also tingling sensation in arms, then it can be due to high blood sugar levels also.
So my suggestion is to consult an oral physician or a general physician and get evaluated so that a clinical examination and fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels and HbA1c should be done to rule out the exact cause of the symptoms. For dry mouth, you should chew sugar-free chewing gums and gargle with Biotene mouthwash.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
