A member asked:

I drank 8 litres of water in 1 hour i vomited twice day after i have a continual heahache at he back oh head till now for a week .ct scan is normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why: Are you drinking that much water? Ct will most likely be normal in the setting of water intoxication and will miss mild cerebral edema. See your doctor for continuing headaches and an understanding of your water consumption issues.
