Water Intoxication
My mother drank more than 4 liters of water at a time to get her usg done. Now she is feeling extremely nauseous and fatigued and has vomited a lot of water. Urinating a lot and getting muscle cramps at night. Her appetite is almost gone. We are so scared. Is all this happening because of overhydration?
