Posted on Wed, 4 Nov 2015
Question: I think I am dehydrated. I have been drinking a lot of water the last four days and it seems to be helping however I still have an elevated pulse running between 120-138 sitting and I get dizzy when I stand. I also have headaches but I'm not sure if Tylenol is okay to take.

Brief Answer:
can take tablet tylenol for headache

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for putting your query in HCM. You may be right that you may be having dehydration as pulse rate is high and you feel dizzy when you stand. So I will suggest you to take lots of fluids and also add some salt and sugar to it or take some energy drinks to recover fastly. For headache tylenol is very good medicine and I also found very useful in my patients. If pain not relieved with that then may take tablet advil.One more thing If this diziness dont improve within one or two days then visit a doctor for examination and evaluation as it may not be dehydration alone as it can be caused in many other conditions also. I hope I have answered your query and this will help. Wish you a good health
