A member asked:

How to know if i need to go to the hospital for dehydration?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go to ER: You should go to the ER for dehydration when you feel weak and dizzy when you stand up. Unless you are deprived of water, it is not all that common to get seriously dehydrated. However, if you do feel that way go to an ER and be evaluated. Good luck.
