A member asked:

Made a conscious decision to start drinking 60 oz of water a day...now am constantly thirsty. no frequent urination, but i do have health anxiety.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Polydipsia: Please do not ignore this compulsion of drinking although drinking about 60 oz in a day is not too much. But anxiety can worsen this intake and cause electrolyte problems. Your physician can address these issues by getting more information from you. Good luck.
