Specializes in Psychiatry

Dehydration: Any of several conditions, including some which may warrant your getting checked by your family physician. You may be dehydrated and have low blood pressure, you may be having medication interactions, you may have an infection, causing fever and excess sweating, rendering you dehydrated. Go get checked.
