Dehydration: How long does it take to hydrate again?

Posted by jeholder @jeholder, Jun 14, 2023

I have been quite busy the last couple of months, and apparently have not been drinking enough water. One afternoon I took a nap when I woke up, I was dizzy, headache, and nauseated. Did some research online and decided it was dehydration. What a terrible feeling. Started drinking more water and electrolyte next day. The dizziness went away, but still had nausea. Does anyone know how long this takes to hydrate again?

@mikaylar As kidney patients, we are always on the look out and reading labels! 1000mg of sodium is 43% of the normal diet. Waaay too much for a kidney diet!

@stephendsessomssr Perhaps using children's Pedialyte may help with dehydration? Check the label for the potassium! As CKD patients, tweaking and balancing our hydration/diet needs is such a challenge!
