water intoxication
I've been drinking what I now realize is too much water, probably something like 2 - 3 liters a day on top of some alcohol for about a week. Last night I got a headache and was feeling malaise, fearing it might be the beginning stages of water intoxication, which is something I just recently learned about I ate some chips(2 bags) for the sodium and my headache went away. The last time I had any water was around 2am last night, and it is now 1:15pm, my headache has come back(it's a pretty mild headache) but I'm still kind of worried, if the result of my headache were from water intoxication something signifcantly bad probably would have happened by now, right?
You should drink about 6-8 glasses of water a day. Where you live is it really warm. Could just be from the heat? Alcohol can dehydrate you. You sound like you might be having migranes also. Your best bet is to talk to your physician, and see what he/she says.
