Constant Throbbing Headaches

Excess water causes the body's sodium levels to drop, leading cells to swell and forcing your brain to press against the skull.

Persistent Nausea or Vomiting

When your kidneys cannot keep up with an extreme fluid overload, the excess water builds up in your system and triggers feelings of stomach distress.
