Can anxiety make you thirsty

[Weasley123]

I tested my blood sugar about 4 months ago and it was normal I tested it a few times in like an hour it ranged from 75 to 95 after a five hrvfast. I went a little crazy and tested it every few minutes. I have a testing obsession. I had no reason to test so I tossed the monitor. My overnight number a year ago was 84. Im 39 nit iverweught. My dad had type 2 at 65. I've always peed a lot so that's no concern. My freak out today is i was feeling thirsty and Aldo sometimes in the afternoon I get a bit if a head ache and feel hungry. I took Xanax and feel better now but why another worry. My husband says I'm bring ridiculous cab anxiety cause this. Magnify thirst if your thinking about it

I should add I tested it with home monitor when my dr last did a regular test at dr two years ago I have iatrophobus fear if dry it was 84. Recommendation sayid you don't need to test yearly if it's that low

Anxiety can dehydrate you. Anxiety causes increased sweating for one thing so you lose more water. And anxiety makes you urinate more so again you lose more water.

You could simply be dehydrated. If I’ve eaten a lot of salty foods I’ll feel ridiculously thirsty.

That said, I do think anxiety can cause dry mouth and exaggerated feelings of thirst. I don’t know the exact science of it but I know I’ve felt really thirsty during previous episodes of anxiety.

Maybe the xanax gave ne dry mouth. I did owe quite a few times in the night but that's normal for me. Ny niuth does feel dry still but its more dry mouth then thirst

I have decided to self test. I don't feel I have a choice I'm in a panic. I can't tell my husband as he'll be furious. I feel so guilty

Did you ever think you tend to mouth breath more when you're in a panic? It's also a side effect of Xanax :winks:

so i bought a second meter and tested about 3 hrs after having a kind bar i got 92 94 90 and 97 so that seems normal and better. I just ate a sandwich. I plan to call my gyno the only dr I feel remotely comfy with and ask him but i think hell tell me im normal and not to worry. Ive ready under 85 us ideal but that under 100 is normal. I feel much calmer

Happy to see you seem to have made it through a rough patch.

Thank you I'm so ashamed of my freak out and blood sugar clearly swings. I ate a small orange 20 min later it was 165. Then 45 min later it was 85 so normal
