Rehydration when not dehydrated

Nurses General Nursing

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.

Good to hear you are "fine overall."

Closing this.
