I have heard of people drinking a bunch and geting sick, My Mother (a nurse) was actually telling me of people drinking a bunch for "diets" and "cleanseing" and coming in extremely ill.
Here's some information I found;
Hyponatremia, or water intoxication, happens when blood sodium concentration drops to an abnormally low level. Under extreme circumstances this causes rapid and dangerous swelling of the brain that can result in seizures, coma and death. Hyponatremia is often associated with a combination of prolonged exercise and ingestion of too much fluid (water) too quickly. It is also possible for hyponatremia to occur without excessive drinking when a person is exercising for long periods of time and experiences large sodium losses through sweat.
Signs and symptoms of low blood sodium include:
- headache
- confusion
- nausea
- cramping
- bloated stomach
- swollen fingers and ankles
