Hyponatremia

Hyponatremia is a condition in which sodium levels in the blood fall below normal. This can be caused by a variety of reasons, including water loss, certain medications, kidney disease, and other conditions.

Symptoms of hyponatremia may include headache, weakness, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, decreased appetite, confusion, seizures, and even coma. If left untreated, hyponatremia can lead to serious complications such as abnormal heart rhythms, brain swelling, kidney damage, and even death.

To treat hyponatremia, it is necessary to determine the cause of its occurrence and take measures to eliminate it. If the cause is water loss, then you need to increase your fluid intake. If hyponatremia is caused by taking medications, then it is necessary to discontinue them or replace them with others. If hyponatremia is associated with kidney disease, then treatment for this disease is necessary.

In any case, if symptoms of hyponatremia appear, you should immediately consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
