Unexplained dehydration

I feel dehydrated

What do you mean feel dehydrated - thirsty or suffering from the symptoms of dehydration?

What do you mean feel dehydrated – thirsty or suffering from the symptoms of dehydration?

Not severe dehydration, but dry lips, slightly dry feeling mouth and I always know when I'm a bit dehydrated as my left nostril becomes constricted and my left eye gets dry and stingy. For some strange reason

Your symptoms sound a bit like being in an overly dry environment, such as in an air conditioned room/vehicle.

You can quickly check for dehydration at home. Pinch the skin over the back of the hand, on the abdomen, or over the front of the chest under the collarbone. This will show skin turgor. Mild dehydration will cause the skin to be slightly slow in its return to normal

Feeling dehydrated is a possible sign of Type 2 Diabetes, worth having it checked by your GP.

Diabetes check was my first thought

The colour of your pee is probably the easiest indicator of your hydration level.

I am sure you know that it should be very pale lemon in colour rather than deep orange.

Keep a check on that.

Yeah, I was going with the dry environment. Either that, Covid or Cat Aids.

Makes you think.

I am currently in an air conditioned office environment, but this happens when I'm not in the office sometimes also.

It's nothing to do with covid, it's happened for a long time.

Yeah, I know about the back of hand, colour of wee etc etc

I'll get a well man check though with some bloods for the diabetes check

It’s nothing to do with covid, it’s happened for a long time.

It doesn't matter. It might not have been Covid previously but it might be now:

"It makes sense, then, that COVID-19, like other infectious diseases affecting the respiratory tract, commonly results in dehydration."
