Frequent Urination, Dry Throat And Mouth, Dizzy Spells. Taking Antibiotics, Caused Stomach Pain. Any Ideas?

Today I've noticed I've been urinating a lot more frequently. I've been very thirsty with a extremely dry throat and mouth also but not been drinking more than normal. I've also found it hard to concentrate and had frequent dizzy spells and just generally felt spaced out and tired. I am currently on antibiotics which had caused me some stomach pains and sickness last week but since my doctor told me to half the dose I've been fine. Ive not experienced all these symptoms together before. What could it be?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you mentioned that initially there was frequent urination , thirsty ( excessive ) dryness mouth , dizziness, tiredness .
All these symptoms may be due to excessive diuresis ( frequent urination) .
As diuresis develops fluid loss with loss of sodium and potassium .
So loss of essential minerals causes dizziness, tiredness feeling of sickness.
As your doctor prescribed drugs for this ( urination ) , you got stomach ( due to side effect of antibiotics so need not to worry ).
Main question is why this occurs, may be ,
1 Urinary tract infection as antibiotics improved the symptoms , so this is an indication that you were a patient of U T I .
2 Diabetes mellitus may be the next reason along U TI . Diagnosis can be confirmed by blood examination for H B A 1 C & sugar level .
3 Tension ( work related stress ) or anxiety may be the reason.
In my opinion consult a urologist and get his opinion.
Good luck. Dr. HET
