Why am I peeing so much today?

[BlueWorkDay]

I usually drink just about enough water (not really enough, but not horrifyingly little), and pee 5 or 6 times a day.

Today I've been peeing every hour or so. Drinking the same amount as normal. No odour, pale colour, not desperate, but frequent.

I've eaten normal food, maybe slightly saltier than some days...

I'm generally in ok health, 46, bit overweight but not terribly, decent bloods with exception of low iron stores.

Is it just a blip, maybe fighting off infection?

No idea.

I could have written this focusing on the past 3 days, but I am waiting on a kidney operation which explains my symptoms.

Cold weather affects me!

Do you get migraines? I wee more before a migraine, its a recognised symptom of the lead up to one, something to do with changes to the brain.

Did bloodwork include HbA1c?

Yes, in October last year it was 30, which looks pretty bang average.

Was going to mention migraines as well. I wee and yawn loads in the before stage.

Ah that's interesting, yes I do, I get vestibular migraines with aura... not that painful, but really weird!

I havent had one for ages!

Lots of luck for the operation!!

Gosh that's interesting.

I never knew that.

It's mentioned on migraine websites bit you can find medical papers really looking into the working of migraines and why this is one of the odd things that goes with them.

I suffered really bad frequent migraines during pregnancy and read a lot of medical studies, hoping I would find some miracle cure!

I started having migraines when I was very young - about 10 think. So they have been part of my life for many , many years. At times they have been frequent, at times very rare.
So I think Ive just accepted that they are part of my life. I'm aware of some of the factors which bring them on and I've developed my own methods of coping

So I've not really researched them as you have. I did google what you posted about the frequent urination and I think it will be very interesting actually reading up a bit more about migraines. So I'm really pleased to have read your post.

a couple of ideas -

pregnant?

wearing tight clothing around the waist?

nervous or stressed about something?

eaten a lot of sugary food? Our body tries to lower our blood sugar by peeing put a lot. Hence the thirst when you eat a load of sweets

very annoying, hope it stops soon!
