•    Dehydration - check!
•    Muscle weakness - check!
•    Potassium deficiency - check!
•    Electrolyte imbalance - maybe (?), my heart "stoped" once and a friend started it again (hitted my chest), as I was asleep.
•    Kidney damage - check!
•    Cardiac arrhythmia - check!
•    Heart palpitations - check!

•    Tears in the lining of the stomach - I have no idea, didn't even know it existed.

•    Tooth decay - Nope! My dentist says "imagine if everyone had teeth like you" I answer "...then you wouldn't have a job?"
•    Death - Alive but not living... You can't call what's 'check!:ed'  above 'living'?
