So yeah, I'm gonna try and drink 10 pints of water today. I'm on my 4th...But it's really weird, I can feel the water kinda in my head, it's hard to describe....and my sight is a bit weird, I can still see but when I focus on something, I can't really!
Why do you think this is?

Doesn't it just go into your stomach? Why can I feel it in my head?
This is not a joke, I'm serious! It's so hard to describe!

it is possible to drink too much water. you need to pace yourself and drink controlled amounts thruout the day. it actually is possible to die from water toxicity. don't overdo it.
the amount of water you are wanting to drink is ENTIRELY too much. that will throw off the electrolites in your body. you should have no more than 80 oz of water in one day. that's 5 pints. you are very likely making yourself sick and could be at risk for water toxicity.

Honestly I don't know. But my guess would be its all in your head. I mean mentally. If you constantly think there is a problem then there will be.
But you really don't need that much water. 1 liter a day is all your body really needs.. unless your constantly working out, or your walking in a desert.
See from what I know if you engulf your body with too much water it makes your heart have to pump harder, from which can cause harm to your heart over time. Stress on the heart.
So... why do you need to drink so much water anyway..especially if it is giving you pains in the head... what are you trying to do drown yourself ???
If you are trying to prove something... its sound more like stupidity. I hope your at least eating some food during the day too... Because just water is not going to do much for ya.

it is acutally possible to drink too much...
within the last year i remeber hearing a news story of a water drinking contest in which a woman died... i think it was in california..
she enetered a contest to win something for her 3 kids, as she was a single mom, and could not otherwise afford it... so the contest all she had to do was drink water... well it was like water poisening or something, i am not sure of technical name... but too much water killed her...
so much for the contest, and now those kids lost their only parent because of something that seemed harmless...

what is the reason for drinking so much water? you are probably over hydrating yourself. stop and see if it gets better. body can only process so much at a time. moderation is better than overdoing, that can be dangerous.
