Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding your complains, I would explain that several health disorders, may cause this clinical scenario (sometimes exposing to extreme hot climate conditions, performing strenuous prolonged physical exertion, use of some certain stimulating substances, etc some medical conditions, diabetes, some medications and renal dysfunction associated with polyuria, etc.
You need to discus with an internist, and perform some tests, plasma osmolality, serum electrolytes, some hormonal level measurements, etc.
Hope to have been helpful. Greetings! Dr. Iliri
