How do I know if I'm severly dehydrated?

I have been sick but undiagnosed for awhile now and I started experiencing black outs more and more frequently, extreme dry mouth I constantly have to be rinsing and my teeth begin sticking to my lips, my appetite has decreased a lot, headaches, eyes hurt like crazy and I wasn't sure if my skin sticking together was due to weighloss or what, but its not dry just a bit spongy also muscle cramps and spasms. I have low BP and glucose levels and I try to drink and eat a lot of fruit and juices and flavored water and a soda sometimes, no coffee or alcohol no smoking. Has anybody ever experienced this and if its dehydration what do I do. Thanks
