Rehydration when not dehydrated

Published

Apologies if this is not the proper place to ask, but I'm rather desperate for a quick answer.

I recently underwent IV rehydration when I was not at all dehydrated (due to irrelevant, rather unprofessional reasons).

I received 500ml saline over a period of 30 mins.

I weigh aprox. 155 lbs.

I feel fine overall, though i tend to worry about these things

Can any possible harm be attributed to this?

I truly appreciate any helpful response.

If you're that worried about it, please consult your doctor. Me, I wouldn't be concerned.

Are you a nurse? No one is supposed to give you medical advice here, and you agree in terms of service not to come here seeking any. Call your doctor or the place you received the care and ask them.

Good to hear you are "fine overall."

Closing this.
