As a follow on to this discussion, my wife has been diagnosed as dehydrated for over 20 years. She has a heart condition and on water tablets, plus water restrictions. Never affected her, she drinks what she wants and remains dehydrated. The medical profession stated she would be dead 30 years ago, she is still here, smoking, obese, 3 heart attacks, four immune diseases etc. taking massive amount of drugs. Close monitoring and the simple fact her body works with a low blood pressure, constantly dehydrated, limited mobility etc. Perhaps your body runs well dehydrated, we got some test strips for other issues but one of the tests is dehydration, always showed dehydrated.

My wife drinks litres of tomato juice at a time, perhaps try something you really like but if you remain dehydrated, should you really worry about it, it may be your body's norm!

Hello, @Pinkypig, how are you feeling now?

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time. Dehydration can definitely make you feel really sick. Remember to try sipping water slowly to rehydrate yourself. If you're feeling particularly unwell, it might be a good idea to seek medical help or consider rehydration solutions like electrolyte drinks.

I'll try asking more members what they recommend you do in such a situation:

Hello everyone, do you have any advice on rehydrating and feeling better quickly? Your input would be most appreciated.

Take care and feel better soon,

@Somya.P you could try having an ice lolly, that way you can have something with taste as well. Or suck ice cubes ?

Go to your chemist, they have some desolving tablets that are designed to hydrate you under the circumstances you are experiencing.

I suggest you speak to your pharmacist. I am sure they can give some good advice on what to take for dehydration. Drink lots of fluids.

@Silverlady Yes, the previous generation were tough old people, we forget they fought world wars, real Depression and no NHS, rarely complaining of their lot. I'm on loads of pills as is my wife but we do watch out for each other which I feel is the game changer!
