Hi, sodium can be reduced from body due to severe vomiting, prolonged sweating or diarrhoea commonly. Sodium is also reduced in cases when water accumulates in our body in response to which the sodium concentration is diluted: for example, hypothyroidism; intake of diuretics, desmopressin, sulfonylureas; kidney and heart related diseases etc. Minimum body requirements of sodium in a day for old age person is half teaspoon of salt in a day. Indian diets are full of sodium. So, it is essential here to take care of health in relation with taking some specific medicines. Anything in excess is dangerous, even drinking water. Blood pressure rises due to increased sodium in body. Remedy in homoeopathy is available but for that a detailed information about your case is required. You can contact through audio or video calls.
