If someone drinks too much water everyday and there is no medical reason eg diabetes What health problems..?

Question

Are there any health problems that can be caused down the road from this? Or is it beneficial all the way?

Answer 1

There is a condition called water intoxication but you really have to drink a lot of water. It basically dilutes the electrolytes in your body to a degree that it can't function properly and is a life threatening condition. I think someone would have to force themselves to drink that kind of volume, though, since it would not be easy.

Answer 4

I think you have to have loads of water for it to be to much because it flushes out the system. The difficulty is if you upset the sodium/water balance in the body. The symptoms of too much water are exactly the same as not enough apparently. both can be lethal but are easily remedied by either having more salt or more water.

Answer 5

It depends on how much "too much" is. If the person is generally excessively thirsty, more than normal, this can be caused because of diabetes or a thyroid condition. Ask a dr.

Answer 6

Drinking too much water can dilute your electrolyte balance and call also cause headaches.

Answer 7

excesive water consumtion can deplete you electroylites but I don't know the actual amount that would be harmful. Anything is poisoness if you over do it.
