Has anybody had Hyponatremia? Or know something about this condition?

Really need help. Please.

Hyponatremia occurs when the concentration of sodium in your blood is abnormally low. It can be dangerous if your salt level gets TOO low, so please don't let it. If you're drinking just tons of water, you may not be needing to. You can drink something which contains electrolytes, or maybe just put a little pink Himalayan sea salt in your beverages. That should, at leas,t help.

Hyponatremia...low sodium in the blood. Can affect different things in the body, most notably, the heart.

@Kayana hyponatremia not hypothermia
I'd never heard of it - just did a little quick reading and one thing I saw is in the elderly, who sometimes have poor appetite. it's called the 'tea and toast' syndrome - at least partially due a diet deficient in protein and vitamins. What does his doctor say?

@Mamapolo2016 Just put him on some sodium tablets and regular check.
@Maiya Does he eat well?

Yeah, saw it allot in the Army. Experience it myself once.

Better see what a doc says, he may need supplements or IV if that's even for sure what it is.

The doctor has prescribed sodium tablets and is closely monitoring him.

@Maiya Good, that's the best course of action.

What are your issues, I may have some advice.

@Elegy It's my 80 year old uncle. He's been diagnosed with it.

@Maiya Oh wow, the person I knew was middle aged and it was part of other complications. All you can do is follow what the doctors say to do. It's potentially fatal.

@Elegy What happened to the person you know? What were his symptoms and treatment?

Could be a side effects of medication(s)?
Catzgano · 31-35, F
Yes when I was anorexic.
Maiya · F
@Catzgano How did you handle it?

Basically I had to eat more but it was part of a list of problems that like happens when you either restrict food intake or can’t eat@Maiya
