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.

  • Hmmm...you don't mention you age or gender but sweating.. menopause???

    Otherwise, yes fizzing drinks might make you dizzy. As for tap water, well anecdotally been thru 7 sets of kidneys and full of fluoride before we drink, so err get where you are coming from there.

    But hey, water is necessary, so how about bottled water, or a water filter? Then mix with a little juice or squash or syrup (sirop de methe is my adicition). There are ways to consume non tap water or to make it more palatable.
