The most obvious and early sign of dehydration. If you feel thirsty, your body is already signaling that it needs more water.
Healthy urine should be light yellow to clear. Dark yellow or amber-colored urine can indicate that your body needs more fluids.
Dehydration can cause a lack of moisture in your mouth and skin, leading to dryness and cracking.
Dehydration can lead to a drop in blood pressure and reduced blood flow to the brain, making you feel unusually tired or lethargic.
Low blood pressure and reduced blood volume due to dehydration can cause dizziness, especially when standing up quickly.
Dehydration can cause headaches, as the brain can temporarily contract from fluid loss, causing pain and discomfort.
If you're urinating less frequently than usual, this can be a sign that your body is conserving water due to dehydration.
Dehydration can lead to decreased blood volume, which can cause your heart to work harder and beat faster, as well as faster breathing to compensate for the lack of fluid.
