How do you know if you are dehydrated, what are the signs to know when you need to go to hospital ? I'm alright now just wanted to know.

Being thirsty, not peeing, dry mouth, headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, dry skin...

When you would need to go to the hospital is really a judgment call, and is a call best made by your surgeon. Someone who is just mildly dehydrated doesn't need emergency care at all.  If you are dehydrated enough that you aren't producing urine, that definitely requires immediate medical attention.

All of the symptoms mentioned above, and the color of your pee. If it is brown, instead of a nice yellow color, then you are dehydrated.
