Brief Answer:
Taking juicy fruits should help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. I would recommend you to get a few blood tests done.
* Blood for fasting sugar
* Complete blood count
* Electrolyte levels - sodium, potassium and calcium

Electrolyte imbalance could be a possible cause for your problems. If that is the case, taking juicy fruits like citrus fruits, and bananas should provide relief.

Let me know if it helps.
