7. Warning Signs of Dehydration Headaches
In most cases, dehydration comes on slowly, and before a headache appears, people experience other symptoms, such as a dry mouth and feelings of thirst. It's possible to prevent dehydration headaches by learning to recognize these symptoms.
People who have a relatively weak sense of thirst may struggle to notice these warning signs but may notice that if they go without drinking water for a while, they struggle to concentrate or get "brain fog." That's another indicator that it's time to rehydrate.
