My doctor says that I'm dehydrated. What does this mean?

Dehydration is a condition where the body has lost too much water. This can happen due to excessive sweating, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or not drinking enough fluids. If you're dehydrated, your body may not be able to function properly and it could cause fatigue, headaches, dizziness, confusion, and even kidney problems. To treat dehydration, drink plenty of water and other fluids such as fruit juice, sports drinks, and broth. You should also avoid caffeine, alcohol, and sugary beverages, as these can make dehydration worse.
