    People with heart disease should not drink more water. Heart disease patients, especially those with heart failure, are unable to discharge the body's water smoothly due to abnormal renal blood flow and perfusion function, so the body is prone to edema. If you drink too much water, it will increase the burden on the heart, lungs and other organs, and even induce hyponatremia, and there will be dangerous symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, whole body convulsions, and coma.
