Hi,

yes could definatly be caused be dehaydration. A great product you could have a look at is elete its an electrolyte replacement that replaceses the electrolyte that you lose when you sweat. this is the best product because it is pure electrolytes unlike nuun and SIS. Plus it tastes like water and is easy to carry.

Hope this helps

how salty is your sweat? Sounds more like a lack of electrolytes...
