# Problems due to drinking excess water Your body is 60 percent water. Helps in digestion, absorption, delivering nutrients and maintaining body temperature properly. You know that the body gets tired and de-hydrated due to less water, but have you ever wondered what happens by drinking excessive water? According to the new guidelines of an international expert panel, to avoid hyponatremia (EAH) (sodium deficiency in blood), only consume water when you are thirsty. These guidelines were published in 'Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine'. ### Disadvantages of drinking too much water - There should be a limit to drinking more water and to avoid more de-hydration, when sufficient fluids are given, it leads to hyponatremia. Kidney's ability to digest excess water starts to weaken and the sodium present in the body starts to thin. - By drinking more water, the cells start swelling, which can prove to be dangerous for life. ### Symptoms of identifying the harm caused by drinking too much water - Its initial symptoms are dizziness, nausea, bloating and weight gain during an athletic event. - Vomiting such as vomiting, headache, mental state changes (confusion, aggravation and fainting) and coma are seen when the problem increases.
