All cells in the body require water to function properly. However, consuming an excessive amount of water, known as overhydration, can lead to serious health issues.
Overhydration can result in water intoxication or poisoning and can disrupt brain function.
This condition occurs when cells, including those in the brain, absorb too much water and begin to swell.
Swelling in brain cells increases pressure within the skull, which can cause symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness, and headaches.
If the pressure continues to rise, it may lead to serious conditions like hypertension (high blood pressure) and bradycardia (low heart rate).
