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.

  • Yes definitely try to start drinking water. It's so important for the body. It helps keep everything running properly, your organs, your body temp, the blood... So important. 

    I get where you're coming from with the taste of water, horrible, totally agree, however it's still important so sometimes we need to eat and drink the horrible tasting stuff lol. I suggest you get a bottle of squash, something that you add the water to, that way it will 'mask' the taste of the water so you'll be getting plenty of water in your system but you'll be tasting the squash.

    I can understand your worries with tap water but try not to overthink it because you'll worry yourself silly. I sometimes feel the same way but just think back to your grandparents, they likely all drank tap water and I expect they all lived to 50+... Mine did. Tap water is scary because the only place we see it come from is the tap, but it is filtered and cleaned so try not to worry too much if you have to drink from it Slight smile
