A member asked:
What can happen if you exercise without replacing your sweat by drinking water or other fluids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dehydration: You could become water and electrolyte deficient. Symptoms that can accompany this are decreased exercise performances, muscle cramps, fatigue, dizziness/lightheadedness. If it really gets out of hand, like if you were to run a marathon and not drink at all, you could have much more severe symptoms even a seizure.
