Hi, Today I went swimming with my flippers on about 3 hours after eating dinner. I had drank 3 liters of water before swimming. I didn't do this on purpose. I threw up about an hour after start to swim. I got out immediately. I have been drinking water ever since. I was not sore or tired when I started. The whole time I swam i was sucking in my stomach. I am not sick or ill. Does anyone know why this happened? Please and thank you for posting.

    3 liters of water right before you got in the water or over the course of the whole day?

    Did you swallow any pool water?

    I swim a lot and have never experienced such a thing...

    How did you accidentally drink 3L of water?

    No, nobody knows why you threw up.

    If you drank 3L of water very quickly, that might be the reason. Your body might've been saying, "Don't need this, thanks anyway, you can have this back!"

    But there is no way for anyone to diagnose you online.

    Not eating ( well netting negative and very low like only 200 which is normal for you it seems) and drinking so much water can result in throwing up indeed.

    You better eat some more food and drink less water. Or not burn so much calories.

    I drink that much because I am trying to drink less soda so I'm substitute. Not the water before. I was meaning the pool water.

    well i gave you the reason ( which i think it is) EAT!!!
    And dont net a couple hundred negative. You train 1100 to 1300 calories and you only eat for between 900 to 1100.

    Like i said you throw up because you have no food in you at all!

    What are you talking about?

    The 3L that you didn't drink on purpose - was it an accidental drinking of 3L?

    And what about the pool water?

    Please read your posts like we do, like you are trying to understand them without any background.

    You accidentally drank 3 liters of pool water while swimming? Are you imitating a basking shark?

    Go to the hospital. Tell them this story, they'll put you on the right unit.

    If you drank 3L or water on top of dinner and tried to exercise, that could cause a LOT of people to throw up.

    That is a LOT of water. That's more than a day's worth for normal levels of exercise:

    I don't know where the water intoxication line is, but 7 liters sounds in the really-not-good-high range.

    That alone could cause you to vomit:

    If you're regularly drinking more than 3L a day, and you're sure that number is right, you should talk to a doctor--sooner rather than later.

    You pumped your stomach full of 3 litres of water within a short time-frame (BAD IDEA), and then swam, which is already a core-heavy exercise, while contracting your stomach. Your stomach was getting a lot of aggravation and just weird and unnatural activity, so it freaked out.

    Don't do anything like this again!
