Dehydration happens when a person loses more fluids than they take in. It can develop for a variety of reasons, that include strenuous exercise, hot weather, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or inadequate fluid intake. Infants, older adults, and people with certain chronic illnesses may be especially vulnerable to dehydration.
Mild dehydration may cause symptoms such as thirst, dry mouth, fatigue, headache, and dizziness. As dehydration becomes more severe, symptoms can progress to weakness, confusion, rapid heartbeat, reduced urination, and other signs that the body is not receiving enough fluid to function properly.
Severe dehydration can become a medical emergency and may lead to serious complications if it’s not treated promptly. Replacing lost fluids and electrolytes early can help prevent symptoms from worsening, while more significant cases may require medical evaluation and intravenous fluids.

Drink Water to Stop Fluid Loss
Treating Dehydration
The preferred method for treating dehydration is by drinking water in order to stop fluid loss. It is important to avoid alcoholic drinks, soda, tea, or coffee if you are dehydrated, as they are diuretics and will pull water from your body. It is also best to avoid fruit juices, as they may upset your stomach, but if you do drink fruit juices, be sure to dilute them with water. If your dehydration is serious, it may be necessary to receive intravenous fluid treatment to restore your fluids and lost electrolytes. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms due to dehydration, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible:
- Feel nauseous when trying to take fluids
- Are confused or disoriented
- Have not urinated in over eight hours
- Have a rapid or weak pulse
- Feel dizzy when standing
- Have had a seizure
Although dehydration can be corrected, it is important to take proper steps to prevent dehydration from occurring. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and eat foods like vegetables and fruits that have high water content. This is especially important if you are engaging in vigorous exercise and/or working in extreme heat.

When To See a Doctor for Dehydration
Affordable Dehydration in Wake Forest & Raleigh
A visit to the hospital or emergency room to treat dehydration can cost a substantial amount of money and take much longer for you to receive the care you need. At Heritage Urgent & Primary Care, our board-certified providers can provide you with high-quality care in a timely and cost-effective manner. If you require health services and are concerned about the cost involved, please refer to the following overview of our clinic’s policies. If you have any additional questions concerning billing, insurance, and/or payment options, please contact our staff.
Understand Insurance and Medicare Medicaid
All visits are billed under Primary Care and Primary Care Copay. We accept Medicare and are in-network with most major insurance providers, and we are happy to provide you with a list of accepted providers to ensure you are covered. If co-payments are required by your insurance plan, this will need to be paid prior to your appointment, before check-in. If you are not able to pay your co-payment, it may be necessary to reschedule your appointment. It is also important to be aware that not all services are covered through insurance plans. If your insurance company determines that a service is not covered, it will be your responsibility to pay the remaining balance.
Out-of-Network and
Self-pay Accounts
If you are not covered by insurance, or if your provider is out of network, you will be responsible for the entire charge of the appointment. If you are not able to pay the full balance of your bill, please contact our billing office at 866-557-2612. We are committed to ensuring that you receive the care you need and will do our best to help set up a payment plan to cover the costs of your care.
Further Payment and
Insurance Information
You will need to provide your current insurance information and bring your insurance card with you to your first visit. We also ask that you bring your card to subsequent visits so we can update your records as needed. Our staff will also help ensure that you maximize your insurance benefits and will file your claims and provide any necessary information to your insurance company.
