Question : Can' drink tap water or filtered tap water. Drinking Mineral water. I'm nauseous and even boiled water (broth) made me nauseous. My tongue is slightly swollen. I had palpitations after drinking tap water. Went to the ER twice. Once said it was nerves and second time said it was gastroenteritis.

Hello! Thanks for putting your query in XXXXXXX I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

It seems that you have anxiety as tap water or mineral water can't make this difference. Is that so? Please explain the symptoms in detail.

Waiting for feedback. Wish you a good health
