This happened to me while being treated for kidney stones. Doctors kept telling me to drink more water. When they would tell me 4 12 oz glasses of water/day, I told them I drank well over that. After a few months and several emergency or urgent care visits my urologist finally figured out it wasn’t a problem of low water intake but excess intake. Now restricted to 4 qts/day.

Possibly there’s a genetic component as I had an aunt with this problem. It struck her when she was older and she was at death’s door when the hospital figured it out. Because of her experience I was supplementing the super excess of water with minerals and sea salt. I knew their orders of so much water was draining me but because I did pass a couple of kidney stones I was trying to go with the program to flush them out. Since I kept having UTI symptoms (very painful) the general practitioners just thought water was the answer. Took the urologist to recognize the real issue.
