Thank you for talking about this! Most US doctors don’t treat and take care of Hyponatremia unless it is so severe. I wished more doctors knew and talked about this.

What a good explanation of hypronatremia. My sodium level recently tested at 128 due I’m sure to my taking in too much fluid (soda, tomatoes, watermelon, etc.) which I tend to do in the summer. I have none of the symptoms mentioned and realize now that my level was moderate and chronic. Following my Endo’s instructions I cut back on those fluids and did bring my levels up to 135 within a few weeks. I’ll have to put a note on next summer’s calendar to remind myself to watch my fluid intake.

Thank you so much Dr. your video was so informative, well explained & very easy to understand. I have chronic moderate Hyponatremia, I get the headaches, bad muscle cramps especially legs, feet. It switches around which muscle, plus fatigued, weak, feel little dizzy lightheaded...I drink lots of water & had been drinking lots coffee. When I get those symptoms I add 1/4 tsp of salt, I mix equal parts sea salt & iodized salt. I add that to 4 oz water & drink it, then follow up with 2 or 4 oz plain water. Within 15min to 1/2 hr I feel better. What I didn't know was that in chronic cases you can get osteoporosis from your body compensating and moving salt from your bones to your blood. I have been dealing with this on & off for over a year. I have cut back on the water & coffee, but I must need to cut back on water a little more. Your video is exactly what I was searching for today. Again well done, can't thank you enough!!

Thank you dr for your warning. It happens to me when admitted to hospital this September treated for this and sodium level under 20. They give me Av in blood to raise ir. No one told me about even my primary dr. I am educated man and got a lot of reading in Medicine . Then I understood it’s importance specifically I am a senior citizen . Thank you so much to to give explanation for people caused by the negligence of some dr have no time to explain it to patients, God bless you dr.

I wnt to my doctors because of low energy and fluid in ankles. I had strange sensations like I wake but cant move or feeling of floating. Really weird. And feeling drained. So I went for blood test and that same night I got call from consultant telling me I need to come into hospital. I was put on a drip by a male nurse. Few minutes later a nurse came in to check it and took me of the drip. She told me I was given pure sodium by mistake which could have caused brain damage. Thank god that nurse came in. Saved my life. My sodium levels went down to 119. Was kept in for a week. Wasnt allowed to drink much fluid. Got exrays done for kidneys and liver. I wasn't feeling sick. I just had no energy. After a week I had to cut tea down to 3 cups a day. I had to keep getting mine checked every couple of weeks until it went up to 135-140. I still have to keep getting it checked.

I had a seizure a couple of weeks ago because of low sodium. My head hit the ceramic floor, which gave me a mild concussion, and I also split my lip open. This is a very serious condition, so please make sure you are getting enough sodium from a source such as celtic sea salt, NOT table salt. No one should ever eat table salt. It is missing most of the trace minerals that are important for proper hydration.

Thank you Dr. Fazakas! My mother has this going on right now and I wanted to get some more details. I was ready to pound the electrolytes into my mom...but that should not be done quickly. It makes so much more sense now. We'll work on the diet since she is in the 'chronic' level of this so it didn't happen overnight and it won't go away overnight. I am in a better mindset on how to follow up with her nutritionist!

Thank you Doc. I didn't know low sodium is related to osteoporosis. Wow, good info.

[sobanosilva]

The only thing I had over several months of NO SODIUM diet was extreme fatigue. After the doctor put me back on sodium pills I recovered BUT I lost my balance.

[anovosedlik]

I have 125mmol/L but I am exhausted and my stress is starting to make things tough. This video really helped me understand how to treat myself. I am not old - I am actually gen z — but it’s so scary I am low sodium.

[andriabitara]

Thanks young Dr. For the information about low sodium in the blood.

[TheRoman]

This guy explained my condition better than anyone

[juliethllamas]

Thank you Dr. Your videos are really a blessing

[maga]

Doctor thank you for this video. Because low sodium is very dangerous. Also I have to add I was on tegrotol for years because of my epilepsy and the consultant took me of them. He said they could cause low sodium in some people.

[Womentales]

[juliabeauty]

Chronic hyponatremia with nausea/vomiting is severe if it is caused by adrenal failure. This hyponatremia can kill quickly.
