Hypovolemia is low blood volume, but this does not necessarily mean that you're low on blood, because it may be caused by movement of fluid into another compartment, such as that seen in edema, shock, severe burns, or severe trauma. It's basically anything that causes significant fluid shift out of the arteries and veins.

Hypovolemia simply means that there is not enough blood in the body. Think about how you would feel with a low blood volume and you can answer the rest of this question yourself.

Hypovolemia is when the amount, or volume, of the blood is too low. It can be caused by blood loss or dehydration..
Yes you will be sick, your blood pressure will fall, unable to carry sufficient oxygen to tissues with blood loss. In dehydration your blood pressure will fall and the blood will become viscous and not move through vessels well and may form clots. Both can be life threatening depending on the severity..

hypovolemia is LOW BLOOD VOLUME. THEY CAN BE IN SHOCK., THEY CAN BE VERY WEAK AND TIRED. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE REASON FOR THE BLOOD LOSS. COULD BE DUE TO CHEMOTHERAPY OR TRAUMA OR DISEASE PROCESS.
