<u>Excessive drinking of water</u> causes hyponatremia.

Hyponatremia is an elementary medical condition that is caused by drinking excessive water. If the concentration of sodium falls below 136 mEq/L, this results in hyponatremia.

Drinking too much water dilutes the sodium in the human body and this results in a high level of water in the body. When the water level rises, cells become enlarged and swollen.

The swelling cells can have harmful impacts on your health by exerting pressure and damaging cell membranes.

Other common causes include diarrhea, liver disease, renal disease, and heart failure. This condition can be cured by taking an IV sodium fluid to raise the degree of sodium.
