Q: Water intoxication and brain damage
asked by: humblestudent on January 14th, 2009

I am a male, 19, 175 cm tall and weighs 71 kg
Sometimes i drink about 1 liter of water and then after an hour i drink 1 liter more.
Then my head gets a bit dizzy and i keep going to the bathroom. I'm pretty sure i drank too much water, but would i get brain damage?
I'm really worried.
Also, i usually don't drink much during school, so i get very dehydrated when i come back, as a result i drink a little more than 2 liters of liquid in less than 2 hours. Would this sudden intake of water after dehydration cause more damage to my brain cells?
I would really appreciate it if someone can tell me.
