Question 1

can drinking too much caffeine cause dizziness when laying down because i feel that every-time i lay down? also can it peak acid reflux because my acid reflux is really bad right now so wondering if that has a correlation with that? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: I couldn't blame caffeine for dizziness occurring upon lying down, but it is a known cause of acid reflux as is alcohol,chocolate, spicy and oily foods.

Question 2

i have low laying sodium 135-138 how quick during workout or drinking too much can they fall? i get cold during workout and dizzy after drinking a lot

Accepted Answer

Hyponatremia: Low sodium can occur rather quickly with excessive salt loss from perspiration,vomiting,diarrhea,excessive urination or from dilution due to drinking excessive amounts of water. Slower causes are from glandular problems like adrenal or pituitary problems. So the two mechanisms are loss of sodium and retention of too much water which dilutes the sodium level.

Question 3

why do i feel so exhausted and dizzy? are these symptoms of drinking too much caffeine? how can i treat this?

Accepted Answer

Caffeinism:  Symptoms of caffeinism may include  palpitations, rapid heart rate, restlessness, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, increased urination &amp; tremors. Caffeine withdrawal symptoms can include headaches, feeling sleepy, constipation, depression, irrtability, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, anxiety &amp; flu-like symptoms. Might be related to caffeine. I don't know.

Question 4

is three glasses of water (600ml) too much water to drink in just an hour? could it cause water intoxication??

Accepted Answer

Could: One episode of drinking this much water may be okay but not on an on-going basis. It would be healthier to pace your intake over 4-hours.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 5

will drinking 2 quarts of water cause water intoxication?

Accepted Answer

No it will not: As long as your kidneys are functioning normally, it is not going to cause water intoxication in adults.

Question 6

i have a uti and drank 5 litres water today (im 46 kg). i usually drink 1l a day. i am feeling now lightheaded and confused, even vomited. can this water quantity cause water intoxication?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. Refrain from drinking more water for at least one day, longer if you can tolerate it. If there an other person in the house, s/he should keep an eye on your mental status and take you to a hospital if there is any deterioration. If feasible get a friend to come ove to keep an eye on you for a day or so.

Question 7

i've been feeling randomly dizzy intermittently for the past week off and on. should i be concerned? what could cause this? i drink plenty of water.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Dizziness can be caused by a number of things, so you'll need an examination and a thorough history of the events will help the doctor.

Question 8

daily lethargy &dizziness/lightheadendess.need to add several teaspoons of salt daily to feel better. i do not drink too much water. if i would drink a plain glass of water alone, i would feel worse. addison's test normal. what else could cause?

Accepted Answer

: You need to be evaluated by an experienced nephrologist. I am a nephrologist but I couldn't answer your question due to limited information although I can assume you have hyponatremia when you confirm that you do not drink too much water but you have to take several teaspoons of salt daily and addison is ruled out. Good luck.

Question 9

my head is heavy and im dizzy. it gets worse when i move my head but the feeling stays even if i lay down. i drink plenty of water and havent hit my head. no headache either. what could cause this and any way to fix it?

Accepted Answer

: Difficult to say with the information. I would suggest that you see your doctor and also check your blood pressure. Could be anxiety. Hard to say without more details and a full physical.

Question 10

what causes a dizzy spell in adults i just got done having a dizzy spell i felt really dizzy for a few minutes while sitting then after i stand up it went away after i sat back down im not dehydrated because i drink 8 glasses of water everyday?

Accepted Answer

: You may describe the event as dizziness but you probably experience an episode of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). 
You can googles to know more about this condition. If it recurs often, you need to see an ENT doctor for a therapeutic maneuver to stop it.
