Hello,
In my opinion you should have your blood sugar levels checked. I would start with a routine physical and lab work.
You should make sure that you are well hydrated and drink plenty of water. A healthy diet is recommended and make sure you have no vitamin deficiencies.
You want to make sure that your overall health is ok. Serious problems can be detected with a routine exam and testing. You could have the onset of diabetes from your description, but heart problems, brain tumors, seizures and many other concerns should be ruled out. Diabetes is a serious disease with many side effects if not treated. This sounds like a warning and I hope you make an appointment with your doctor soon.
