Drinking Water

Deleted User

I have an issue that I've noticed happening to me. I wake up and I feel sick and dizzy, and have a headache. I sweat a lot and I've been having fainting spells every now and then. I don't think I'm dehydrated on the grand scheme of things because I drink lots of coke and other fizzy drinks, but I don't drink any water at all and I'm wondering if that could be the cause of this? Before I hardly drank anything but that led to urinary tract infections and hospitals so I started drinking a lot more but only fizzy drinks and never water. But I read online that you need to drink water but I don't like to because it tastes horrible and it comes out a tap and I worry about germs and bugs. I'm not really sure what to do about this. I can't drink it if I don't like it and if it may be contaminated.

  • Carbonated drinks have been found to deplete certain things the body needs. Boil the water if need be or maybe drink more fruit tea. I would suggest buying bottled SPRING water to supplement a few days per week. You need a human-friendly amount of minerals which are not filtered out of these (as well as sugar) to keep your BLOOD hydrated. I would also suggest seeing your GP and finding out if you need an IV to rehydrate. I used to do this when I lived in a dry climate once per year in the summer. It helps incredibly. My brother did this when he had too much to drink the night before while in med school & apparently it puts one right as rain. 

    It could also be possible VOCs, formaldehyde or spores / mould, invisible to the naked eye, can cause this.

    Are you taking any vitamins / supplements which might be having a side reaction (too much vitamin D can cause terrible headaches for instance and mushrooms complexes, ashwaganda, and other herbs will promote it, but moderation is key). If not any, I'd suggest adding a multi vitamin to your diet.
