Too much water dilutes out the electrolytes in the blood.
It may lead to low sodium levels and that is called hyponatremia.

This condition is very complex, with many variants, and so the symptoms of each may be slightly different. In its worst form hyponatremia may be fatal. Certain drugs like diuretics and SSRIs and some opiates tend to cause it too, and/or may be additive with excess water.
