Answer 1

You are weak, light headed but have a head ache all at the same time. You won't be eliminating as much and if you do it's probably a dark yellow. You also may not be thinking clearly. Dehydrating is VERY dangerous. It's not easy to rehydrate yourself if you are seriously dehydrating and if you feel you are you should get to a hospital immediately because you'll probably need an IV.

You also can't go by thirst because you will be dehydrating before you realize you're thirsty.

Answer 2

The first thing to look for is elevated temperature and you have stopped sweating.  You feel light headed and maybe a little nauseous, accompanied by a slight headache.  Also if you pinch the skin on your are and pull on it and the skin doesn't snap back right away but stays kind of in a peak, you're dehydrated.  Best thing to do is drink lots of water today and tomorrow and try to get yourself re-hydrated.
