Dehydration

Dehydration

Introduction

When you're dehydrated, you may feel faint, dizzy and have a headache. If you're serious about keeping yourself hydrated, it's important to know how to tell if your body is dehydrated and what steps to take when it happens.

Dehydration happens when your body loses more fluid than you take in.

Dehydration happens when your body loses more fluid than you take in. This can be caused by not drinking enough fluids or sweating too much, which increases the risk of organ failure and makes you more vulnerable to disease. Mild cases of dehydration are common but can be easily treated with water, electrolyte solution (like Gatorade), sports drinks, or other products that contain sodium chloride (table salt). Severe cases require hospitalization with intravenous fluids and medications like isotonic saline solution or albumin intravenously infused through an IV line—the latter being most effective if done at the first sign of dehydration due to fluid imbalance.

Normally, your body maintains a balance between fluids and electrolytes (like sodium, potassium and chloride) that are necessary for normal function.

Sweating accounts for about 2 percent of your total body weight loss in 24 hours. If you sweat more than usual due to heat or exercise, your kidneys may not be able to keep up with the extra fluid loss through sweating alone.

You lose additional water when you have bowel movements as well as urinate during this time period so dehydration occurs in most people at some point during their life span.

Your body loses water by sweating, urinating and during bowel movements.

Sweating is the main way you lose water. It's a natural process that occurs because of heat or exercise. When you're hot, your body releases sweat to cool itself down so it doesn't overheat (and possibly die). It also helps protect the skin from getting too cold when it's exposed to wind or rain.

Urinating is another way for your kidneys to get rid of excess fluid in your blood—but this isn't always necessary! If you're dehydrated enough that urination becomes painful (or impossible), then something else might be wrong; consult with a doctor about this possibility before continuing on with this article further!

When you lose too much water or don't drink enough fluids, your body can become dehydrated.

When you lose too much water or don't drink enough fluids, your body can become dehydrated. Depending on the severity of the dehydration and how long it has been going on for, this can cause various problems.

Dehydration is a serious condition that can lead to death if untreated. It's caused by not drinking enough fluids or losing too much fluid through vomiting or diarrhea. Some people are more at risk than others because they have certain medical conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease that make them more prone to become dehydrated than others who don't have these issues.

If your dehydration is severe, you may need treatment in a hospital.

Signs of severe dehydration include:

dizziness or lightheadedness (you may feel faint)

dry skin that feels like sandpaper and is hot to touch. You might also notice an increase in heart rate, rapid breathing, and sweating. In some cases this can lead to vomiting or nausea if left untreated for too long without drinking fluids again.

Dehydration can be mild but it can also be severe.

Mild dehydration is when the body’s fluid levels are reduced by less than 2%. This can be caused by any number of factors, including drinking excessive amounts of water or staying in a hot environment without any access to cool air. It’s also possible to become dehydrated if you have an illness that causes vomiting and diarrhea (like gastroenteritis).

Severe dehydration occurs when the amount of fluid in your body is lower than normal—it may be as much as 5% below normal level. Severe dehydration can result from many things: extreme exercise, vomiting (food poisoning), diarrhea (also called dysentery), heat stroke or sunburn on exposed skin areas like hands and feet where there's no shade available; chronic diseases like heart failure or cancer; certain medications such as diuretics used for high blood pressure; diabetes mellitus which affects how much insulin gets produced within cells throughout one's life span...

Conclusion

Dehydration is a serious condition that can be life-threatening if left untreated. You should make sure that you are drinking enough fluids and eating food when you're not feeling well in order to prevent this from happening.
