Urinating too often

I'm 95 yrs young, in good health, but I'm urinating an average of 24 times every 24 hours (day and night), about 1/3rd of a cup each time. How is it possible that I can be producing that much urine? My water intake is probably no more than 6 glasses per day. I am taking two Flomax capsules each day. No pain while urinating , nothing odd in the urine and color of urine is good. I have a moderately strong initial stream, then a 10-12  second pause followed by 10-12 seconds of dripping. Does this all sound normal for my age or can I do something to lower the frequency? Going from bed to the bathroom 7-8 times every night is a real bummer

I don't know why no one has answered, but this is really something you should be talking to your doctor about. You could be losing potassium and/or sodium at dangerous levels.
