Does Exposure To Mold And Other Toxins Cause Dehydration?

Hi , I am dehz\ydrated all the time, even though I drink between 3 and 6 Liters of water and take Elektrolytes. Two days ago I had to go to the ER because I had severe problems with shortness of breath, burning eyes, sore throat, dizziness . They gave me 1 Liter of IV and I was much better later. Next day I felt much better but at the end of the day the problems all started again. We had a mold problem in the house a year ago but it was fixed. I sometimes smell mold in the tap water. Do you think my dehydration could be a result of mold or other toxins in the house?
