Step out of the vicious cycle! Dehydration is the cause of fatigue, weakness and altered mental status which can all lead to falls.
So many of my patients limit their water intake due to not being able to get up from their chairs easily. This is a serious fall risk as restricting water increases the concentration of the urine which leads to bladder irritation and severe urgency.
Patients are now rushing to make it to the bathroom before they have an accident and many end up falling in the panic.
Break the cycle and build exercise and water drinking habits into your daily life! For help to do this, check out my 30 day Challenge to decrease hospitalizations due to weakness and falls.
