Q: I woke up 3 hours earlier than usual, I had a light breakfast, skipped lunch, I had a heavy dinner, and then I went swimming for a little bit, then I had a drop in energy, and I tried to fall asleep but felt really thirsty, I felt sick like a stomach ache for about 5 minutes, and now I feel okay, but still thirsty and not as tired. Am I okay or am I dying... And I probably feel thirsty from dinner... I don't feel as thirsty now. I only had one drink and Chinese for dinner. I did drink half a water bottle though and I have the a/c on. I drink tap water a lot. But I just take bottles up to my room because I don't drink the water from the bathroom next to my room, I take it from the fridge that has a fliter. :)
A: One thing in our busy lives we must not forget to our peril. You mentioned what you ate, light then heavy. But how much did you drink? It is very easy in summer to become dehydrated. One of the main symptoms of not getting enough liquids each day is a feeling of dragging fatigue and sleeping problems like insomnia. As one who forgot & ended up in hospital with tubes in arms for 4 days, please don't let that happen to you.
