What are common symptoms of overhydration?

Question

In the past month, I have been drinking almost two gallons of water a day. Until this started, I drank almost nothing but soda, tea, and juice, but mostly I just drank soda. Since I started drinking mostly water, my muscles are fatigued (feel like I have been working out) and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this.
