Question 1

What can cause excessive thirst and headaches?

Accepted Answer

There are many reasons for excessive thirst. From an Endocrinology viewpoint a very high blood sugar could cause thirst and headaches. Do you have diabetes?
One other possibility is a thyroid disorder, and there are many non-endocrine conditions that could lead to your symptoms. I would recommend an early appointment to your doctor who will take your history, do an exam, and order some lab data.

Please go to your local Emergency facility as soon as you can.
Preferably family or friend should drive you there.
Please let me know what develops.

Question 3

Should i go to the hospital if my sodium is 132 and my co2 is 23? ive been dizzy, confused on and off, excessive thirst, pressure headache, back and chest pain, fatigued?

Accepted Answer

If you go it would not be because of Sodium of 132 and CO2 of 23. The fact that you had blood test done suggest you were already evaluated in a medical setting. Is it possible you just should rest and follow your treatment plan? If you think you have diabetes that would have shown also with the blood test. You should drink fluid if thirsty because that could explain being thirsty, tired and dizzy.

Question 4

Weird symptoms past 2 days. can't sleep, (4 hrs in 2 days) increased thirst, chest pain and upper back pain, headache, cough?

Accepted Answer

Hi. That could be any number of things. Are you peeing more? Any fever or sweats? Any sputum production? Shortness of breath? Your doc can do a history, physical exam, and appropriate diagnostics, and see if anything needs to be done. Good luck and get well soon!

Question 5

One sided headache is typically migraine.  Many people retain fluid and swell prior to the headache, possibly a connection to your thirst.  I am not certain where the white discharge you refer to is, but if you are having irregular periods this is also related to migraine.

Hi. That would be diabetes until proven otherwise. It's easy to test for. If you're diabetic and not overweight/obese, it's more likely type 1; if it's diabetes and you are overweight/obese, it's more likely type 2. Please don't ignore this. See your doc and get tested.
