Water intoxication stress!

Not sure if I’m being an anxious Annie or just stupid. So I got up at 6:40 and went to pee and hardly any pee. Had so back pain yesterday so panicked thinking water infection. And drank a 500 ml bottle water in one go. Then over next hour drank another. Then went to pee but still not loads so stupidly downed another 500ml. Now I’ve peed 5 times in two hours and it’s clear as water and I’m really stressed out I’m gonna die from water intoxication. Not sure if I’m being ott.

You’re being OTT

If you're worried you could try sipping- not downing - some sports drinks. The ones with electrolytes. That'd replace any salts that you've diluted.

Your kidneys process about a litre per hour. You've had 1.5l in more than 2. Once.

You're being ridiculous.
