a) Hyperhydration is a condition that occurs when the body takes in too much water, leading to an imbalance of electrolytes in the body. Symptoms of hyperhydration include nausea, headache, confusion, seizures, and in severe cases, coma and death. It is important to maintain a balance of water and electrolytes in the body to avoid hyperhydration.
