It is far too easy to get dehydrated. Our bodies regularly lose fluids through exercise, sweat, urinating, etcetera, and if this fluid isn’t replaced throughout the day, you could endanger your health. Some of the symptoms we develop when we need water, such as headaches and excessive thirst are signs we should all recognize. However, there are some scary symptoms that risk going ignored. Here are four to look out for.

1. Falling Blood Pressure

You aren’t likely to experience a fall in blood pressure until the body becomes severely dehydrated. However, when you do, it can contribute to some of the scarier symptoms, like feeling dizzy or light headed. If you experience any of these signs on a hot day and your water consumption has been low, it might be a sign your need to up your water intake.

2. Forgetfulness And Confusion

Forgetfulness and the inability to think clearly can be attributed to being overtired or having skipped a meal – but it could be a more serious symptom. When our bodies don’t get enough fluids, it has a serious impact on the way our brain functions, leading to foggy thinking and confusion. With the body deprived of the water it needs, you might also become more irritable and cranky.

3. Muscle Twitching

Adequate fluid is necessary to maintain normal electrolyte levels. When these are off balance, it can cause the body to malfunction in different ways. A common sign that electrolytes are out of sync can include muscle twitching, or you might notice painful cramps. This is a sign that you must act on – if you experience twitching or cramping and suspect dehydration, get water straight away.

4. Palpitations

Palpitations come in different forms; you might notice a faster or skipped heartbeat, which can be one of the most frightening signs that your body needs water. Without adequate fluid intake, your heart must work much harder and it is forced to pump more blood. An electrolyte imbalance can also cause these symptoms, so if you’ve been exercising hard, refuel with some water to see if it makes a difference.

Conclusion:

The above symptoms could go identified as signs of dehydration, which is why they can be so dangerous. To help maintain good health, it is recommended that your drink at least six – eight glasses of water a day, but this will vary depending on your age and activity levels. If you experience any of the above symptoms, or you’re feeling faint, seek medical advice to confirm the cause.
