Dehydration Sign #10: Weakness
Weakness or asthenia is a symptom that can be seen in several different conditions. Weakness can be divided into true or perceived muscle weakness.
True weakness can be seen in skeletal muscle diseases such as inflammatory myopathy, muscular dystrophy, and neuromuscular junction disorders like myasthenia gravis. Perceived weakness occurs when the affected individual feels that there is more effort required than normal to exert a given amount of force. This can be seen in cases such as chronic fatigue syndrome.
