A member asked:

Dr. i have been very thirsty and drink a lot of water lately. the more i drink water the more i become thirsty. is that namoral?

No : It is not normal. There are many potential causes including diabetes, but also kidney disease, high calcium, pituitary problems and even some psychological disorders. Check w/your doctor and get some blood and urine lab done so they can diagnose and treat the problem.
