Brief Answer:
Go to ER

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
If you are feeling dizzy and a bit cold clammy, that could be due to a drop in blood pressure.
Dry mouth could indicate dehydration.
I would advise you to get immediate medical attention.
Go to ER for evaluation and treatment.

I hope that answers your query.

Well I started drinking water and the symptoms slowly started going away, I do believe it was dehydration. i feel better now but am still a bit lightheaded. What would cause me to be extremely weak though now and exhausted after all that?

Brief Answer:
A drop in blood pressure

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
A drop in blood pressure could be the underlying cause for all these symptoms.
But what caused the drop can be ascertained only after a detailed clinical examination.
If you still feel dizzy, it is better to get medical attention.
