@madmax83 What were your symptoms?

It's much different for an older person with a sodium issue. The problem we had was over exerting especially in hot weather. You drink so much water trying to stay cool that you flush your electrolytes out of your body. Can cause many symptoms including heart problems. I got very nauseated and sick, and then passed out.

@madmax83 What kind of treatment did you get and how long did it take for you to get normal?

IV therapy, and a good meal that evening. Took a couple of days to feel right again. I was pretty close to heat stroke.

@madmax83 my uncle is very sleepy and fatigued. Sleeps all day and you have to wake him up to feed his meals.

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.
