I find it funny that when the body decides it’s not getting enough fluids, it’s response is to get rid of a bunch more. I only just realized that vomiting is a side effect of dehydration after working on a tin roof in the heat of the day for hours and not drinking adequately while I was up there…not fun.

How about too much water? I went to er with extreme dizziness, numbness, tingling in both legs, hands. Severe headache. After external exam & blood work. I was told my sodium levels were below normal and my wbc elevated. It's been a week now and my sodium returned to normal but I still feel tingling in legs. Last night my left arm went completely numb. The dizziness & head pain episodes are so bad they stop me in my tracks. My dr says she'll repeat my blood work this up coming week.

Vomiting repeatedly is loss of fluids . This can cause dehydration if these are not replaced.
This doctor doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
