Hyponatremia: Drinking excessive water dilutes sodium in the blood, causing hyponatremia.

Cell Swelling: Overhydration causes cells to swell as water moves into them to balance electrolyte levels.

Brain Swelling: The brain is particularly vulnerable to swelling, which can lead to increased pressure inside the skull.

Kidney Strain: Your kidneys can only process a certain amount of water per hour. Excessive intake can overwhelm them.

[{"selector":"#anim-a2d19eba-96a6-4e1f-a0ad-36e4b668b6df","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-41803725-69a0-49fd-a29f-8b49a84d2be1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed07d2b2-bd18-4d4b-a2a6-b2010fab19f8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 146.43274%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Electrolyte Imbalance: Beyond sodium, other electrolytes like potassium and magnesium can become imbalanced.

[{"selector":"#anim-72d21c92-8091-4096-8e2f-6d97bbe10826","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-76c5abd2-db84-411d-aa17-13aa596ad68a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0d643ec1-3609-4960-b796-edb35f6420bc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 183.68499%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Digestive Issues: Overhydration can dilute stomach acid, impairing digestion and leading to discomfort or bloating.

[{"selector":"#anim-08d61c09-e75c-4035-ace2-f6ce13c47467","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d4addec2-2e59-417f-a068-809e8801fd71","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-34cc15b7-2d1f-4955-8a18-6d58f638fce9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 175.45714%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Frequent Urination: Drinking too much water results in frequent urination, which can disrupt daily activities and sleep.

Fatigue: paradoxically, overhydration can lead to tiredness as the body works overtime to process the excess water.

[{"selector":"#anim-a18b7c28-ecdc-4fbf-ba35-2949f95c5c01","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-16147327-327f-44fc-b6b6-3a02c9528ff3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2213fbef-c6b3-4fb7-81c0-dc261c95f2be","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 145.71030%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
