Having Symptoms Of Dehydration. Normal Blood Tests And Hydration Levels. Any Ideas?

I have all symptoms of dehydration (dry skin, tiredness, dry mouth, excessive thirst, confusion, only passing very dark urine once a day) despite drinking 3L water per day. My blood tests are normal in every respect (kidney function, liver function, thyroid, diabetes test, hormones all normal) and my hydration levels are apparently 'normal'. My doctor refuses to do further investigation. What's wrong with me?
