Actress Brooke Shields shared in a recent interview that she had a “grand mal seizure,” which she attributed to drinking too much water.<\/p>\n

While preparing for her one-woman show, “Previously Owned by Brooke Shields,” the actress, 58, said she consumed so much water that her sodium levels dipped to a dangerously low level.<\/p>\n

At the hospital, doctors confirmed<\/u><\/a> that Shields “had too much water,” she said in her Glamour 2023 Women of the Year interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I flooded my system, and I drowned myself. And if you don\u2019t have enough sodium in your blood or urine or your body, you can have a seizure.”<\/p>\n

In describing the event, Shields said she was “frothing at the mouth, totally blue, trying to swallow my tongue. The next thing I remember, I\u2019m being loaded into an ambulance. I have oxygen on.”<\/p>\n

During a grand mal seizure \u2014 which is now officially called a tonic-clonic seizure \u2014 the muscles alternate between the tonic phase (stiffening) and the clonic phase (jerking or twitching), according to the Johns Hopkins Medicine website.<\/p>\n

Early warning signs often include a “simple or complex partial seizure,” also known as an aura, along with changes in mood or emotion<\/u><\/a> and abnormal sensory experiences.<\/p>\n

WHAT DOES A D\u00c9J\u00c0 VU EXPERIENCE MEAN AND WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Once the tonic activity begins, the person may lose consciousness, cry out, fall down and\/or drool or foam at the mouth, according to Johns Hopkins.<\/p>\n

If the seizure causes impaired breathing, the person may appear to be gasping for breath or may take on a gray or bluish skin tone.<\/p>\n

In the clonic phase, the person\u2019s body will begin to jerk, usually for one to three minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After that, the body will relax and the jerking movements will stop.<\/p>\n

After a person suffers a seizure, it usually takes a few minutes for the brain to recover<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During that time, the person may appear to be sleeping or unconscious.<\/p>\n

HEALTHY AGING AND DRINKING WATER: FASCINATING FINDINGS FROM A NEW STUDY<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Tonic-clonic seizures require immediate medical treatment, according to Johns Hopkins \u2014 as the muscle spasms can interfere with breathing.<\/p>\n

Treatments may include medication, surgery, dietary therapy and\/or nerve stimulation.<\/p>\n

Dr. Pooja Patel, director of the epilepsy monitoring unit with Marcus Neuroscience Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida<\/u><\/a>, at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, confirmed to Fox News Digital that drinking too much water can be dangerous.<\/p>\n

“It can cause hyponatremia (low sodium),” she said in an email. “Extreme hyponatremia can cause severe adverse effects on the body.”<\/p>\n

One of those potential effects is seizures.<\/p>\n

“With severe hyponatremia, water moves to the brain, causing brain cells to swell up,” Patel said. “If this is acute, it can cause increased pressure and seizures.”<\/p>\n

The recommended amount of water is approximately eight glasses per day, with one glass equaling 8 ounces, according to the doctor.<\/p>\n

“Usually, staying close to this is safe,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you drink excess amounts of water, especially if you have a preexisting condition, it can cause detrimental effects like hyponatremia.”<\/p>\n

While staying hydrated is very important, Patel recommends checking with a health care professional to determine a safe water intake before making sudden changes to your diet \u2014 especially for those who have any preexisting medical conditions<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
