All normal except
Cough of 1 week duration – may sputum ba? Sabi ni anne meron daw..wala kasi ako narinig na sinabi eh, pero confirm ko pa rin. Update ko ulit kayo bukas.

2x at night para magwiwi
Patient also eats a lot, 4 cups of rice every meal tapos bread or 2 cups of rice for her snack. Started around 2005, after her 3 rd pregnancy rin. Patient also drinks a lot, at least 8 glasses of water a day, wala pa dun yung coke litro na iniinom nya at kape, at yung thirsty feeling na lagi nya nararamdaman.
Polyuria – marami daw sya umihi, although hindi na ma-quantify. Basta sabi kung ano ininom nya, ganun din yung nilalabas nya.
Polyphagia, polyuria, polydipsia = diabetes insipidus? Kaya na bahala kung consider nyo itong info na ito
Easy fatigabilty – hindi na matandaan kung kelan pa, basta matagal na daw
