how much liquid can u drink ?

[chantal]

hay everyone this isnt really a symptom but just plain curiosity:
Im wondering if any of u notice that when u drink more than say a few glasses of water a day feel that your chest hurts more because of the drinking??
I do have heart and lung inflamation so maybe this has something to do with it, but its still strange. It doesnt really bother me because this has happened for so many years now so I know just not to drink too much, I don?t know what got me thinking of it im just curious if the same thing happens to anyone else as well
oh and also if my chest is under water I feel the ?pressure? and it hurts my chest more
strange I know style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif again its all good its been like this for years and years but it cannot be explained ..
Anyone else?

I have that feeling when I get pleurisy which i get alot I just don't drink water when I am going through this symptom...or I feel like the water just sits in my stomach i know what you mean its a weird feeling I usually just stick to juice or coffee...sometimes non caffienated soda.

I guess I'm fortunate because I've not experienced this symptom. It sounds very uncomfortable.

Let us know if the doc has an explanation for it.

Thanks!
