Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Your main complains of dry mouth with sleep disturbance and excess of hunger suggest that your basal metabolic rate is high and for that you need to rule out hyperthyroidism. TSH levels need to be evaluated and if there is hyperthyroidism then the TSH levels will be lower than required.
Also it would be wise to identify if you are taking some medicines regularly as some medicines may also lead to such symptoms an adverse drugs reaction. Furosemide is one such drug.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
