Only way to know for: Sure is to do blood tests. But if you have had little oral intake and have been losing fluid through diarrhea, perspiration, or bleeding, you probably are indeed behind on fluids. The quickest way to replenish, if you can't take oral fluids, is intravenous fluids. Go to emergency dept now, so doctor there can tell for sure and treat immediately.
