The symptoms you describe, such as dry mouth, excessive sweating at low ambient temperatures, and dizziness, may be associated with various conditions, including diabetes. Diabetes, especially in the case of hyperglycemia, can lead to dehydration, which in turn manifests itself in dry mouth and increased thirst. Excessive sweating can also be one of the symptoms of diabetes.
In addition to diabetes, other conditions can also cause similar symptoms:
1. Hyperthyroidism - manifested by, m.in other things, excessive sweating, trembling hands and a feeling of anxiety.
2. Iron deficiency - can lead to weakness and dizziness.
3. Nervous system disorders - can cause unusual reactions of the body, including excessive sweating6.
To determine the cause of your symptoms, it is worth performing the following tests:
1. Blood glucose level - fasting test to check if you have elevated sugar levels.
2. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test - this test evaluates the average blood glucose level over the past few months.
3. General urine tests - can help assess hydration status and detect possible infections.
4. Thyroid tests - hyperthyroidism can also cause excessive sweating and dizziness.
In case of persistent or worsening symptoms, it is recommended to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and possible initiation of treatment.
