tooo much water

[funky419]

So i read a lot of these threads and see bros saying they drink a gallon of water first thing in the monring when they wake up. HOW????? if i drink 2-3 bottles of water in a row. which it seems when i have some sort of gatorade poweder or other sports drink mix i always drink a ton of fluids while working out. doesnt it make you sick as fuck????

I get super sick. if i dont induce fuking, i will be [uking within a couple hours head ache heart pounding and the sore chest feeling.

the last two days i have been doing this its almost like a disease or something. i know i am going to get sick but still i will slug down a whole bottle of water in two gulps. I am pretty sure my heart pounding has nothing to do with gear but any opinions? my heart rate doesnt go up much. I can just feel thump thump thump and my chest gets extremely sore, along with other sides i mentiuoned.

let me add, this happened to me today. I came home and induced myself to vomit and felt better immediately.

something else is definitely going on alot of water should not be causing any symptoms at all

 

[funky419]

not just drinking a lot of water but drinking a lot of water in a short (half hour or less) time

 

[Cobra Strike]

first of all stop doing that...whats the point?? second if your feeling your heart beat your probably experiencing palpations and the chest pain could possibly be due to angina....does relaxing relieve your chest pain or does it take 5 min or so to subside? and do you feel the chest pain during your workout or when your at rest just pounding water? and are you on any medications? Do you have a history of this?

on no meds. usually it is about 5 minutes into cardio at the end of my workout routine. yeah it stops after im done doing cardio. on no meds. only happens when i drink too much water while working/workig out. i dont really drink water like that when not working out. my problem is every little 30-60 second rest between sets is when i will take a drink or more of water. i just have to stop carrying a water bottle with me while exercising. it was happening a lot about 6 months ago and couldnt figure out why it was happening. then i stopped drinking water while working out and it stopped.

i was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else while working out. if i stay at or around 16 oz of fluids then im cool. no problems with heart or anything. at least i think. only noticed it past 2 days but i drank around 2-3 bottles of water.

tomorrow im not gonna drink any while exercising and see if my heart starts pounding.then i know at least that the water is or isnt causing that. thats my only worry really, i dont want a heart attack, not cool.

idk why i do it... i stay hydrated always. i notice tho when i drink that much i do feel dehydrated which is why i keep drinking probly. my lips get really dry like that feeling when you eat super salty greasy french fries ya know?

the more water you drink the more you excrete bro....thats one way to control water weight....

I have never heard of water causing chest pain. You may have an underlying issue bro....I would see your physician about this. There could be multiple different problems going on....

 

[thetruepitbull]

Water will cause chest pain if you have severe edema, say after contest and you blow up like 20lbs over night.

Op, there are other issues going on with you, get checked out.

be smart not to mention the gear?

I have a dumb question lol,plz dont flame me to bad,but is it really bad to drink like a gallon of water a day? i mean i do drink that much,cause i dont drink soft drinks,tea,etc.....somepeople has told me to not drink that much water because it will cause you to hold to much water,am i wrong?

 

[funky419]

im pretty sure your sposed to drink arounda gallon aday. cobra posted above that the more water you drink the more you will excrete. but im assuming the more water you drink the more water you could retain also. just do an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and you want have any issues. i didnt have one the first week or so of this cycle and as soon as i started it i dropped around 6-10 lbs of water

i gotta quit smoking btw... might be the cause. i will test out not drinking too much water while working out tomorrow and see if the problem goes away, i hope it does

you can drink water non stop and be fine all day...your body is made up of mainly water in the first place.

The people that say the more water you drink the more water you retain have no clue about general physiology. When you drink water your body senses this and will excrete it. If you dont drink water then your body will think that it wont get anymore and it will retain as much as it can in order to keep from going dehydrated. So the more water you drink the less water you retain bro...

not a stupid question

ya smoking is very very bad bro....quit that shit too..

I drink water while I work out too...the most discomfort I have ever had is a sick feeling in my stomach. You most def have an underlying problem...if it were me I would get it checked out bro...dont wait till it gets worse

how old are you?

maybe a vet will chime in on this,cause ive been told that drinking that much will cause you to hold water retention.....but i do drink a gallon a day,and my sodium intake is low,so thats not it

thanks my brother,i knew you would know

Drinking water in large amounts can throw off your electrolyte balance and could lead to death. This is called water intoxocation.

Precontest it is necessary for most to drink ~ 2 gallons of water daily.

 

[funky419]

Water intoxication, also known as hyper-hydration, water poisoning, or overhydration, is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by over-consumption of water.
Normal, healthy (physically, nutritionally and mentally) individuals have little reason to worry about accidentally consuming too much water. Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal individuals have resulted either from water drinking contests, in which individuals attempt to consume large amounts of water, or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet excessive amounts of fluid are still consumed.[1]
Water can be considered a poison when over-consumed just like any other substance.[2] The recommendation from the medical field is to drink at least 1 to 2 liters per day[3] depending upon body mass. Water intoxication would only occur at levels far higher than that.
Physiology


At the onset of this condition fluid outside the cells has an excessively low amount of solutes (such as sodium and other electrolytes) in comparison to that inside the cells, the fluid shifts through osmosis into the cells in order to balance its concentration. This causes the cells to swell. In the brain, this swelling increases intracranial pressure (ICP). It is this increase in pressure which leads to the first observable symptoms of water intoxication: headache, personality changes, changes in behavior, confusion, irritability, and drowsiness. These are sometimes followed by difficulty breathing during exertion, muscle weakness, twitching, or cramping, nausea, vomiting, thirst, and a dulled ability to perceive and interpret sensory information. As the condition persists papillary and vital signs may result including bradycardia and widened pulse pressure. The cells in the brain may swell to the point where blood flow is interrupted resulting in cerebral edema. Swollen brain cells may also apply pressure to the brain stem causing central nervous system dysfunction. Both cerebral edema and interference with the central nervous system are dangerous and could result in seizures, brain damage, coma or death.[4]

notable cases - Artist Andy Warhol died from a cardiac arrhythmia. His family sued the hospital, claiming the arrhythmia was a result of water intoxication from being overloaded with fluids after routine gallbladder surgery.[14]

Cardiac dysrhythmia (also known as arrhythmia) is a term for any of a large and heterogeneous group of conditions in which there is abnormal electrical activity in the heart. The heart beat may be too fast or too slow, and may be regular or irregular.
Some arrhythmias are life-threatening medical emergencies that can result in cardiac arrest and sudden death. Others cause symptoms such as an abnormal awareness of heart beat (palpitations), and may be merely annoying. These palpitations have also been known to be caused by atrial/ventricular fibrillation, wire faults, and other technical or mechanical issues in cardiac pacemakers/defibrillators. Still others may not be associated with any symptoms at all, but may predispose the patient to potentially life threatening stroke or embolism.
Some arrhythmias are very minor and can be regarded as normal variants. In fact, most people will on occasion feel their heart skip a beat, or give an occasional extra strong beat; neither of these is usually a cause for alarm.[1]
Proarrhythmia is a new or more frequent occurrence of pre-existing arrhythmias, paradoxically precipitated by antiarrhythmic therapy, which means it is a side effect associated with the administration of some existing antiarrhythmic drugs, as well as drugs for other indications. In other words, it is a tendency of antiarrhythmic drugs to facilitate emergence of new arrhythmias.
The term sinus arrhythmia refers to a normal phenomenon of mild acceleration and slowing of the heart rate that occurs with breathing in and out. It is usually quite pronounced in children, and steadily decreases with age. This can also be present during meditation breathing exercises that involve deep inhaling and breath holding patterns.

It is carbs and sodium that primarily cause water retention.

this is correct.....

but your might be luckier getting struck by lightning lol

there are many factors....they all work together but I would say sodium is the major culprit
