Not intoxicated: Your symptoms are unusual so I suggest you see a provider ASAP. However, I must say that it is not water intoxication. Your ingestion of 80 ounces of water is not abnormal given the current temperatures. Remember that your body rids itself of water not only via the kidneys, but via the skin (sweat), via the bowels and lungs.

Unlikely: Unlikely if you did this 3 days ago, and have been drinking and eating normally since and just developed the other symptoms. Regardless of the cause, you need to be seen by a physician immediately.
