Dr. Hiep Le answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Do you want to say you no longer feel as if your right hand is dominant after a dehydration episode 2 days ago? Do you mean your right hand is weaker than the left or less dexterity? A young man with a dehydration episode should not cause any significant neurologic damage unless your blood pressure was extremely low at that time and you had to be hospitalized for fluid repletion.

Dr Machanic and another doctor agreed
