Can drinking less water be the cause of my fatigue and tiredness?

My doctor actually told me I was drinking too much water. I cut back and now I am feeling more tired. I don't know what to do. Can you recommend anything?

Simple answer is yes, it COULD be, and remember by the time you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated; this is the body's regulatory system telling you that you need to drink more fluids. However, remember to consume proper amounts of electrolytes as well, depending on the nature of fluid loss. Finally, there are legitimate medical reasons why a patient may need to restrict their fluid intake.
8-10 glasses a day is recommended, plus regular exercise.
Fatigue and tiredness are associated with so many illnesses . A thorough check up is required
