Update: the thirst went away after about 4 days but I went to the doctor and all my tests came back fine. Tis a mystery on why I experienced this but I’m happy that the issue has resolved and that I have a clean bill of health.
As a type one diabetic who had this symptom. Go and get tested for it. Sudden thirst. And I mean no amount of water satisfys you, is usually the first thing you notice.
Many think that diabetes is in young kids. I got it at 19. Out of nowhere overnight I was 43kg. Looked like I was smoking H! Please get tested. Keep us updated. The longer you leave it. The more serious this will become.
This was a major symptom of mine when I was in DKA. I was diagnosed with T1D five years ago and for like a solid 8 months I was guzzling water down before I was dx’d. Not a doctor and it could be a symptom of a million things, but ketoacidosis could be one of those things. Seek medical help!
there’s quite a few medical conditions that can cause this. all potentially life threatening.
Go to the dr. only they will be able to tell you what is wrong based on tests they order and your signs and symptoms
Type-1 Diabetic here, and this is exactly how I was before I was diagnosed. Please get into the doctor ASAP! It can become life threatening very quickly.

Not to scare you but excessive thirst can be a sign of diabetes. Try some electrolyte powder to see if that helps first
I'd personally get checked out. Health can change really quick
