- High altitudes and dehydration. Altitude sickness or “acute mountain sickness” results from fatigue, dehydration and the low oxygen levels at altitude. Just being at altitude causes you to lose far more fluids than at lower elevations, more than a quart a day just from breathing.hen you’re dehydrated, exercise makes you fatigued more quickly; real fatigue, not just being short of breath. Dehydration compounded by the low vapor pressure of oxygen results in changes in the blood chemistry, making it more acidic and harder to absorb what oxygen is available.

- Dehydration is water deficiency in the body. In dehydration, fluids from the blood and the space between the cells (together called extracellular space) are lost first, which is followed by loss of fluid from the cells (intracellular space).hen proportionally the same amount of water and sodium is lost from the body, the sodium concentration of the extracellular fluid and hence its tonicity will not change — this is isotonic dehydration. Statistically, in most cases (~ 80%) dehydration is isotonic 2.
