Medical Conditions - Sodium Level

Hyponatremia typically occurs when the sodium in the blood falls below 135 mEq/L. Many conditions and lifestyle factors can lead to hyponatremia, such as certain medications, intravenous fluids, and heart, kidney, and liver problems. Hyponatremia signs and symptoms may include nausea and vomiting, headache, confusion, loss of energy, drowsiness, and fatigue. The doctor may recommend intravenous fluids to raise the sodium levels in the blood, and medications to manage the signs and symptoms of hyponatremia.
