I have no idea.

This usually is not related. Many patients with decreased fluid look like everyone else.

If it is safe to watch a patient with decreased fluid, rest and a large fluid load may help fluid levels.

Activity doesn't cause this problem but once it occurs, rest may help increase fluid production.

You need to share your concerns with your doctor and have him/her evaluate you in that regard.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
