Serious Causes Linked To Poor Circulation

Dehydration

Dehydration develops when a patient uses more fluid than they consume. As a result, the body does not have enough of the water and other fluids it requires for normal functioning. In adults, symptoms of dehydration generally include fatigue, dizziness, confusion, and extreme thirst. Dehydrated patients will usually have dark yellow urine and they will urinate much less frequently than what is normal for them. Dehydration can develop due to diarrhea and vomiting, and it might also occur as a result of excessive sweating, fever, or increased urination. It sometimes develops if individuals fail to drink enough water due to busy lifestyles, travel, or illness. To treat dehydration, patients may want to start with an oral rehydration solution. Severely dehydrated individuals typically need to receive intravenous fluids in the hospital. If left untreated, dehydration can be a medical emergency, and it may trigger seizures, low blood volume, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, heat cramps, or heatstroke.
