Dehydration Effects

Too much sun and too little water can quickly lead to serious health problems. The University of Kansas Hospital Chief Medical Officer Dr. Lee Norman explains the effects on your body which can happen in as little as 24 hours.

Dehydration really can creep up on you. From experience you just feel lethargic, woozy, your heart will race, your body temp will fluctuate, your head will be pounding especially when you stand up, you’ll ache and basically have zero energy to do anything. I had it really bad once with hallucinations. I just get water in me quickly and sit outside in the cold.

People really don't understand how important it is to drink water.

For about 3 years I suffered from what I thought was severe anxiety. Many nights a pounding heart would wake me up from my sleep. It got so bad sometimes, I would have to call the paramedics. I also suffered from migraine a lot. Now I drink a gallon of water most days, and those symptoms have disappeared. I am beginning to think I was suffering from dehydration without realizing it.

I started a 3 month keto diet about 3 years ago. I had a planned out diet and part of the diet was to drink 1-gallon of water a day. It sucked for the first week or 2 of having to always pee, but after a month into I realized how dehydrated I had been in the past. The 1-gallon of water drinking a day completely changed my mood and feel. I was sleeping better, better mood, better looking skin, not having that 2pm crash feel, etc....

I have started drinking water with straw. Believe me I can sip 3 litre water a day very easily. Before this technique, I could hardly drink one litre water

I got severe dehydrated. The cramps were the worst pain I’ve ever had . All over legs, feet, toes., hands, arms . Around rib cage front in back. I had to go to hospital by ambulance. I was given 9 bags of fluid. Had to stay the night. I’ve broken bones, had kidney stones. This topped em.

I was hospitalized, every muscle in my body was cramping. I had to keep my arms and legs straight and fight to hold my hands flat to stop them from wanting to close. Worst pain I felt, Lucky I was working beside the hospital. I had kidney failure and needed 8 bags of IVs. Im a carpenter, and I have to work in really hot weather, I drink alot more gatorade and power aid now. Once you start cramping go in a cool area and drink any drink with electrolytes. Thought Id share work safe.

Dehydration, can, literally, shrink and harden your brain. You brain can then, literally, knock around like a walnut. It can make you feel nuts! I got dehydrated, once, but, I knew the symptoms -- nausea, light headedness and not wanting to eat. I got so sick, I could not get out of bed. I almost went to the hospital, but, then, I thought -- no wait -- maybe I am dehydrated. I have no other responsibilities, so, I thought -- can I stay in bed and drink, with water, it out of me? In other words, can I re hydrate myself? So, I stayed in, stayed in bed, drank tons of water, about 3 or 4 16 oz. glasses a day, slept, slept, slept, ate when I felt up to it, and after 2 weeks, I was fine and good to go, and have been ever since. Okay, I have to use the bathroom more. But, it's a good alternative.

A few years ago, I became sick with the noro virus. For almost 12 hours straight I was vomiting. Anything I drank, even water, would come back up. Eventually, I became so dehydrated that my leg and arm muscles became unresponsive. My limbs would become stiff and twitchy. Walking was almost impossible. I was living with my mother at the time who immediately, upon seeing me in that state, drove me to the emergency room.
It was a horrible night, one bag of saline per arm. Both were refilled a couple of times each. According to the doctor who saw me that night, I probably would have died had I not come in.

Amazing how much U can learn in 2+minutes.
Just lost my 43 Yr old partner 2 basically a heart attack. The amount of symptoms I know now from lack of water/fluids. JEEZ. gimme a beer.

I was dehydrated a month ago, I think it was because I'd been drinking the night before, and not had much to drink during the day. I mainly had headache, and a random single bout of diarrhea. I went to bed, and then a few hrs later, I woke up, and my left arm, leg and left side of my face felt numb. I just got up went to toilet, and then went back to bed.

I ended up getting skip heartbeats from dehydration

i suffer alot with non infection UTI symptoms never really knowing what cause it ? stress and not drinking enough will start up the symptoms .wanting to pee when nothing is there is the bane off my life /2022 i have had 13 bouts the worst ever . i now take cranberry juice high strength tabs / biotics and other natural tabs to hopefully stave it off /but drinking water is essential . even when i cant drink any more i will force it down. Knowing whatever i do flushing my system is imperative / we don't take water drinking seriously enough. and take it for granted . unlike other countries where decent drinking water is life threatening.

I think this is whats happening to me. I have these symptoms quite often. I kept thinking it was anemia or a vitamin deficiency. Ive has bloodwork done. Usual i will be low on vitamin D, but when i think about it., i really dont drink fluids that much. I really think this could be the issue. I think i will duscuss it with my doctor.

1:17 I got diarrhoea first and then it got over but the muscle cramps in my arms and legs continues, despite drinking lots of water am still getting dehydrated- I don't know how

[XieLiansHat]

I'm dehydrated AF because I wasn't allowed to restrict eating anymore so now I'm restricting water

[deante]

Add lemon to water it helps hydrate and improves taste.
