What happens when you are dehydrated?

I went running this morning, and I guess I didn't drink enough water or something because while I was waiting for my bus, I started getting really dizzy and I couldn't see very clearly. I managed to get on the bus, but after I did, I couldn't see very well. Was this a sign of dehydration? Heat exhaustion? (it was 73˚ outside at the time.)

    could very well be dehydration...could be low blood sugar...did you eat before you ran and have some "food" substance to replenish afterward? Just some thoughts because it has happened to me

    drink a lot of water before running.

    you get really really sick.

    some symptoms are:

    extreme dizziness.

    throwing up.

    extremly high fever..

    Almost deadly high white blood count.

    if your dehydrated i strongly suggest you go to a doctor.

    when i was dehydrated, the doctor was shocked i didn't pass out from the high white blood cell count.

    when you are "thirsty" it's your body's natual sign of telling you that you are becoming dehydrated..

    thats why when you play any sports the coach always tell you to drink until you arent thirsty anymore.

    it was both. those are all the symptoms. you need to keep hydrated bc it could cause you to have a concusstion and pass out
