Re: Dehydration
Ok how do you know you are dehydrated? Have you had a blood test? Have you been passing less urine than usual? Is your tongue or lips dry and not moist? Do you have somewhat cold pale or bluish hands and fingers? If this is the case you need urgent medical attention. Do you have type 1 diabetes or are you on insulin? Ever had a diabetic coma? Or are you suffering from severe diarrhoea or vomiting? Or any unusual swelling of the body? In any case you need to see your doctor, they need to do basic checks like heart rate, temperature, blood pressure and blood sugar levels as minimum. Keep drinking fluids till you see your doctor hopefully over next few hours. Go to casualty in case you feel very poorly or in any emergency
My skin is very dry and my lips are very dry too. I had mild diarrhoea for a week .
My question is if it’s medically possible for a body to absorb less water even if one is drinking enough water?
