SIDE EFFECTS OF DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER.

While it is important to stay hydrated, drinking an excessive amount of water can have negative side effects on the body.

One of the most common side effects of drinking too much water is hyponatremia, which occurs when the levels of sodium in the blood become diluted.

Symptoms of hyponatremia can include nausea, headache, confusion, seizures, and in severe cases, coma and even death.

Another potential side effect of drinking too much water is water intoxication, also known as overhydration. This condition occurs when the kidneys are unable to process the excess water, leading to a dangerous imbalance of electrolytes in the body.

Symptoms of water intoxication can include nausea, vomiting, headache, seizures, and in severe cases, brain swelling and coma.

Drinking large amounts of water can also lead to frequent urination, which can cause dehydration if electrolytes are not replenished properly. This can lead to fatigue, headaches, and muscle weakness.

It is important to note that the amount of water a person needs to drink each day varies based on factors such as age, gender, weight, and physical activity level. While it is important to stay hydrated, it is also important to listen to your body and not force yourself to drink excessive amounts of water.
