What Causes Severe Dehydration Despite Drinking Enough Water?
I have been dehydrated for a few days. Its unusual for me living in the north east on a colder day. Weather has been in the 40s, and I usually only get dehydrated when its very hot and Ive been sweating a lot. Been drinking a lot of water, not urinating and still am dehydrated. Only medicine Ive taken is for rheumatoid arthritis, One each of the last 2 days. Just curious what might be happening.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Have you checked your blood sugar levels lately? Low sugar levels in the body can sometimes mimic as dehydration. I suggest have at least 3-4 litres of water everyday and monitor the intake.
