Dehydration is the loss of water and salts from the body. The human body needs water to maintain enough blood and other fluids to function properly. Along with the fluids, the body also needs electrolytes, which are salts normally found in blood, other fluids, and cells. The body may lose fluids in a variety of ways:
Dehydration (de-hi-DRA-shun) is the most common cause of orthostatic hypotension. Dehydration occurs if the body loses more water than it takes in. You may become dehydrated if you don't drink enough fluids or if you sweat a lot during physical activity. Fever, vomiting, and severe diarrhea also can cause dehydration. Orthostatic hypotension also may occur during pregnancy, but it usually goes away after birth. Because an older body doesn't manage changes in blood pressure as well as a younger body, getting older also can lead to this type of hypotension.
