Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.

The signs of dehydration in an adult are decreased urine out and dry tongue.
If there is any blood loss or diarrhea, there may be increased heart rate and in severe cases cold peripheries.

I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.Barani
