Dehydration / dry mouth / feeling thirsty

What? Dehydration occurs when the normal water content of your body is reduced due to releasing more water than is being taken in. Symptoms of this can include: experiencing dry mouth, feeling thirsty, feeling lightheaded, dry lips, nausea, lethargy and passing urine less frequently or in lesser amounts. Dehydration can also lead to feeling unusual or detached from our surroundings (derealisation). Dehydration can also trigger panic attacks as it raises the heart rate and can make us feel dizzy and unstable.

Why? A water imbalance (dehydration) can occur due to a poor appetite and bad habits, where we don't take in enough water, we excessively perspire, frequently urinate, alter our breathing and pass watery stools. When we are anxious, we actually need a lot more water than usual to compensate for the loss of water.

Dry mouth can be recurrent due not only to a water imbalance, but to nasal obstruction and excess stomach acid. Stomach acid has a low PH and kills off some of the bacteria in our mouths that keep our mouth hydrated and healthy. Drinking lots of water and a healthy diet are key to alleviating dehydration and dry mouth.
