The first sign of dehydration is thirst. Other symptoms may include:
- dizziness or light-headedness
- headache
- tiredness
- dry mouth, lips and eyes
Moderate dehydration causes you to lose strength and stamina. It's the primary cause of heat exhaustion. You should be able to reverse mild to moderate dehydration by drinking more fluids, without medical attention.
If dehydration is ongoing (chronic), it can affect your kidney function and cause kidney stones to develop. It can also cause:
- liver, joint and muscle damage
- cholesterol problems
- constipation
