Oftentimes, when people go to the hospital for heart attack, they are diagnosed with panic attack instead. Thirst is often a sign of anxiety or panic. Mehmet Oz in his new book recommends that older adults chew a baby aspirin per day. Perhaps you should try that and see if you still get chest pressure or if the aspirin causes thirst. Another idea would be to chew two aspirin when you don't have chest pressure and see if you get thirsty. You want to see if the thirst is due to the aspirin or is a second symptom that comes with the chest pressure. It may be that the aspirin is unassociated with the relief in chest pressure and it would just subside by itself. If you chew an aspirin a day and still get chest pressure as often as in the past, you will know that the aspirin isn't related to the relief. Another idea is to reduce the stress in your life if possible and see if you still get chest pressure. I'm not a medical practitioner. I just know that many people think heart attack when they have panic. Sounds like you could be having an anxiety or panic attack.

It denotes inability of the kidney to concentrate urine. DI is caused by a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, due to the destruction of the back or "posterior" part of the pituitary gland where vasopressin is normally released from, or by an insensitivity of the kidneys to that hormone. It can also be induced by various drugs. Vassopressin is also a vasoconstrictor. This could explain why you have chest pain (because the blood vessels in your chest/heart could be contracting). Another question I would ask is whether or not you are experiensing excessive urination? Another common symptom of DI.
