Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If your body produces too much ADH and water is retained, your blood volume increases and leads to symptoms like: Feeling nauseous.

Detailed explanation-2: -In states of hypovolemia, baroreceptors in the carotid sinus (high pressure) and left atria (low pressure) respond to decreases in pressure caused by decreases in effective circulating volume (hypovolemia) by stimulating ADH release, which causes water without sodium retention in the kidneys.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypervolemia is usually caused by too much sodium (salt) in the body. When there is too much salt present, the body retains water to balance it.
