Having an overactive bladder means that I have to drink water every time I get up during the night. Because if I don't I'll wake up dehydrated and risk getting dizzy.

Lately I have noticed that sometimes I can pass water easily and sometimes it's difficult. It can vary each day depending on the time of day etc..

It seems to depend on various things like how much water I drink and what foods I eat. Oranges, depending on the type, certain lemons, regular grapefruit, etc. can cause a feeling of restricted urine flow.

Now if you hated listening to this long story, can you imagine any urologist or primary care doctor wanting to listen to it? No, they won't want to listen to it. They will want to do tests and I have already had all the tests.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had symptoms like mine or any similar issues you would like to share. Or perhaps you might have some helpful advice.

Thanks for your patience.
