There are two main reasons this can happen: You may not be drinking enough fluid, or you may have low blood volume. Low blood volume is the more common scenario.</p><p><br></p><p>Low blood volume is one of the most common causes of excessive thirst. Drinking more water can actually make the problem worse, leaving you with constant thirst.</p><p><br></p><p>To retain enough fluid and maintain healthy blood volume, you need adequate salt.</p><p><br></p><p>Low sodium and low blood volume symptoms include:</p><p>• Feeling dizzy or unstable when standing up quickly</p><p>• Persistent thirst, especially at night</p><p>• Fatigue, weak muscles, or cramping</p><p>• Poor sleep</p><p>• Headaches</p><p>• Feeling cold</p><p>• Constipation</p><p>• Dark urine</p><p>• Dry mouth and dry eyes</p><p><br></p><p>You need around 3000 to 4000 mg of sodium each day to maintain healthy hydration levels. This is equal to about 1½ to 2 teaspoons of salt per day. If you’re an athlete or physically active, you may need more.</p><p><br></p><p>DATA:</p><p>https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00745.2016</p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1332513/ </p><p><br></p><p>Dr. Eric Berg, DC, Bio:</p><p>Dr. Berg, DC, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
