I listened to a podcast about hydration, and one of the guests mentioned that over-hydration has similar symptoms as under or dehydration. I take several medications that cause dehydration, so try to hydrate, but of course just like watering plants, it's a delicate balance.
I should note, I once killed a cactus.
It does seem silly of the human body to reuse the same symptoms. After all, how can you troubleshoot if the results aren't same?
In some ways, hydration becomes like other things, something you need to be aware of. But spending too much time worrying over it, is likely to stress you out.
But if someone would invent those little soil moisture monitors for humans, that would be very helpful.
