Dehydration question?

if you fall unconscious from dehydration, what happens next, or what are the risks?

well, anytime you pass out, it indicates that there is some damage to your brain. it depends on the situation, some people pass out more easily than others, and brain damage can be less for them, but sometimes there is serious brain damage. water is used in the brain (actually in the blood) to transport oxygen to the brain, so if you are dehydrated it basically means you are starving your brain of oxygen, almost like it would be for drowning.

if you pass out from dehydration, i would suggest that you go immediately to an urgent care center or doctor, although at night you probably can't find one and you need to go to the emergency room. you should find medical attention as soon as possible. however, the first thing you should do is GET SOME WATER! be careful not to chug it, though. try taking small sips as drinking too fast could cause you to throw it all up, making things much much worse.

the point is, get medical attention and drink more water!

Your kidneys shut down and you die of renal failure.
