Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of water intoxication?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify your question. The so-called water intoxication occurs when a large amount of water is consumed in a short period, leading to excessive depletion of electrolytes. This typically results in symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, weakness, and rapid heartbeat. In severe cases, it can cause severe pain, loss of consciousness, and coma. The symptoms you described should be considered due to the river water not being very clean, causing symptoms of gastroenteritis, and it is unlikely to be water intoxication.
