Water Sickness?
7

This is a serious question? Is it possible to get sick from drinking too much water? And I don't mean nausea. I mean is it possible to get seriously sick by drinking too much water. I mean, regular clean water too. About 6 months ago, I drank too much water while I was jogging and had this weird pain feeling. Is it possible that the water could have traveled to the wrong place in my body? How would any doctor be able to diagnose this anyway? Thank You for any answer.

Hi, trymester, and welcome to Fitness & Health!


You CAN drink too much water, but I think it takes a LOT of water - I don't know if it is something that happened to you - here's a link that might help:

What kind of pain did you have?

Hi & welcome to the board trymester,
I have heard that too much water in a day can be bad for you ..
That being said .. do you know how much you drank that day ?
Perhaps you could ask your doctor what he/she might recommend as well as what is too much ..
Do let us know what they have to say .
If you're looking to get, stay fit & healthy ..
We'd love to have you join us here :)

Thank you for your replies.


This happened to me 6 months ago and I Still have a pain on my side. Numerous doctors and exams have told me that it is not water-related. That was just a coincidence of that time I guess. Actually, the doctors can't find anything wrong with me so I am going on misdiagnosed.

I'm sorry that you are having so many problems Trymester


Especially since the doctors can't seem to figure out what is causing it.


I hope you can find some relief soon.
