This is a great collection of dehydration symptoms! I’ve noticed sometimes that I get a headache when I don’t drink enough water, especially in the summer. Can headaches also be a symptom of dehydration?

I was hiking in the mountains this past Saturday. We were at an elevation of 6500 feet. I only had about a litre and a half of water through the 6 mile walk. I woke up the next morning and my calf muscles were so stiff and soar that I could barely walk. Could this be as a result of not enough water?
