lightheaded when drinking water Posted: 08-01-07 11:53am


Eversince I was a child, I have gotten light-headed whenever I drink water on its own. Water with something such as juice mixed in is fine. Even carbonated and fruit flavoured water goes down fine. It doesn't matter if the water is room temperature or chilled, I get the same effect. The only difference being that the colder the water, the quicker I feel the dizziness. I only need one mouthful of chilled water to feel like this compared to a few mouthfuls of tap water. Is this just my body not liking flavourless water? I only thought about it the other day when I mentioned it at work and people thought I was strange lol.

Today I did drink some water at work and it was on a full stomach just after lunch. Still has the same effect as on an empty stomach. Hm... very strange. Probably just one of those things.
