Best Answer

Yes. This is called hyponatremia, water intoxication, or water poisoning. It is caused by drinking too much water, which causes an imbalance of electrolytes in the body. It basically causes an over-dilution of salt in the body, which can cause system failure and swelling of the brain.

The low levels od potassium and sodium can also cause cardiac arrhtymias.
