Can you develop vertigo from being dehydrated?

Possible: Dehydration may lower your blood pressure and on change if posture your carfiovascular system may be delayed in adjusting your blood pressure as it does in a normal situation, hence you may get further lowering of blood pressure for an instant which may cause lightheadedness or dizziness .Also dehydration may change your electrolyte equilibrium , specially sodium and potassium, hence vertigo.

May be dizzy: More likely dizziness rather than vertigo.Being dehydrated one will be hypotensive and may pass out.
