This could very well be related: Sweating makes you lose electrolytes. Replenishing lost water without replenishing electrolytes can be detrimental to your health. The most important electrolytes to be replenished are sodium, potassium and magnesium.
You could very well be right however, it is surprising how much electrolytes we lose trough sweating/exertion. That and the fact that drinking water by itself will leach out those precious minerals. Combine that with the relatively high amount of water you drink in order to replace what you lose working outside in the heat tells me it is a distinct possibility. Still, admittedly, doing a diagnosis by comment replying is not a exact science to say the least. Best of luck, and health, to you.
I think we can assume all the other factors here are constant (such as the volume of water, the amount of work & sweating etc.) but definitely a good shout.
One beer (not 12) after working out/heavy sweating in the hot sun will replenish electrolytes. (Watermelon is pretty good at it too.) then back to filtered water.

Agreed, I’d sprinkle some Himalayan salt in my water if I was him to replace sodium
