Yes hello! I remember you, you are one of my first
patients...
Yes, drinking too much water, excessively that is (normal we should
take in 6 glasses of water per day, which although, it may vary)
may cause a condition called dilutional hyponatremia (lack in salt
content because of over-dilution).
When this happens, the patient may be thrown into a wide range of
symptoms such as confusion, seizures, hypertension, heart failure,
accumulation of bodily fluids all over the body (bloatedness, leg
swelling, eye puffiness, cheek puffiness, lungs and heart fluid
overload), anorexia (loss of appetite), nausea and muscle
weakness.
Natrium or sodium is an essential mineral in our body that is
involved majorly in fluid balance and also blood pressure control.
It does have more functions than that, but clinically this is far
more important...
