The electrolyte of most concern with overhydration is sodium. Too much fluid will dilute the amount of sodium in the bloodstream, leading to abnormally low levels, called hyponatremia. Symptoms of hyponatremia may be mild at first, such as a feeling of nausea or bloating.

One sign of overhydration or water intoxication is a feeling of confusion or disorientation. This is linked to falling levels of electrolytes such as sodium in the body.

The Bottom Line Deficiency typically occurs when your body loses a lot of fluid. Common signs and symptoms of potassium deficiency include weakness and fatigue, muscle cramps, muscle aches and stiffness, tingles and numbness, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, digestive symptoms and mood changes.

Brain cells may experience a disruption to their normal calcium and sodium concentration and begin to function abnormally. This results in the symptoms that may include lightheadedness, dizziness, or confusion. Some brain cells may die from physical compression and some from the electrolyte and water imbalances.

The levels of electrolytes in your body can become too low or too high. This can happen when the amount of water in your body changes. The amount of water that you take in should equal the amount you lose. If something upsets this balance, you may have too little water (dehydration) or too much water (overhydration).
