What Causes Severe Fatigue And Excessive Thirst?

Thank you. I am just checking symptoms as I have unusual fatigue lately, and have noticed I am thirsty and have an unusual laste in my mouth. I have put on about 5 pounds the past month - not a lot I guess, but I am a fitness instructor, in good health, live a healthy lifestyle, and all seems inexplicable.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to diabetes, I suggest you do glycemia test for further evaluation. If the diagnosis is confirmed you should take medications to maintain glycemia under control.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
