Maybe you are low on potassium??  I get this same feeling from time to
time.  Almost feels like a thin layer of water all over my body.  What I
do is, drink the same amount of water as usual, but in smaller doses.  No
more than 4 oz at a time. Why?  Kidneys are rather small, about the size
of your ears. If you drink too much too fast, they get over loaded and
some water may  or may not  get stored as bloat.  I'm not a DR, I just
know this works for me  Also I beef up my potassium.
