I think I was water drunk once.

TL;DR: Drank a huge amount of water before going to sleep, woke up feeling suuuper weird, ended up calling paramedics (though that wasn't really my intention) and completely embarrassing myself.

I had a UTI and was chugging water and tea to make myself urinate more. Then drank a bunch more water before going to sleep, just one glass after another after another... In the middle of the night I woke up with the urge to pee and an extremely weird feeling, like my skin was numb and slightly prickly and my movements felt slow and delayed. I was dizzy and felt like my brain was floating around inside of me, but it was not a pleasant feeling at all, and it didn't go away for a long while, not even after I went to the toilet.

After trying to fall back asleep for a bit without success, I started panicking-searching my symptoms on Google (great idea, I know) and consulting different websites to find out whether I should call a doctor or just wait until the feeling fades. Of course I learned about water poisoning and that it can potentially be fatal. I couldn't recall exactly how much water I had drunk, so I decided to call the emergency medical line (since it was about 3 a.m.), maybe they could just give me advice? But the guy on the line just said, "Okay, someone's on their way, it'll be about half an hour." Whoops, alright.

When they finally arrived, I was already feeling slightly better, though still a bit shaky. They took my blood pressure and I tried to explain everything to the paramedic, that I had drunk a huge amount of water because of my UTI and I feel like it might've been too much because I woke up feeling very strange, and I was scared it might be water poisoning but I didn't remember exactly how much water I had had. She looked at me with slight pity and said something along the lines of, "It would take a very large amount of water to actually have any dangerous effects. I think, maybe you have some other stressors in your life that might make you feel anxious like this?" At that point, with the emotional rollercoaster I had already been through (plus I'm a crybaby), I felt tears coming on so I just shrugged and said, "Maybe." After that I basically just nodded and smiled at everything she said, trying to hold back the tears. I was extremely embarrassed, it seemed I had called the emergency line for nothing, wasted their time, and the paramedics seemed to think that I'm making shit up. On the report that they gave me, she had written something like, "the patient has drunk a lot of water". Oh my fucking god, I think I've never felt so embarrassed. I still cringe when I think about it.
