Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drinking excessive amounts of water during intense physical activity can lead to a condition called hyponatremia, which is a decreased concentration of sodium in the blood. This can lead to symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, seizures, and even death in severe cases. Dehydration (A) occurs when too much fluid is lost from the body, not from consuming too much water. Metabolic alkalosis (C) and elevated blood sodium (D) are not associated with drinking excessive amounts of water during physical activity.
