Hello Lybrate user. Low sodium levels is called as hyponatremia. There are many causes for hyponatremia. Like hypovolemic hyponatremia, euvolemic hyponatremia and hypervolemic hyponatremia, we need to evaluate the exact cause of hyponatremia to prevent the recurrence. Pls consult a physician and get evaluated and take appropriate treatment. Take care.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. In heart failure, the main pumping chambers of the heart (the ventricles) may become stiff and not fill properly between beats. In some people, the heart muscle may become damaged and weakened. The ventricles may stretch to the point that the heart can't pump enough blood through the body. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Normal serum sodium level is 135-145meq/l so I guess you can continue the same medication and follow up with specialist you consulted before.

Yes, this may sound literally confusing to most people. Sodium may act bad and it may still be required. Let me try to simplify things for you. Sodium, chlorine, potassium, calcium, and many more salts which are present in our body, help it function. When in slightly lower than normal concentrations, the body function reduces, when in even more scarce concentrations the organs start getting damaged. The same is the case with higher concentrations. BALANCE is important for the body to function effectively. So yes, Sodium may be advised in a controlled amount even in end-stage renal disease patients. If you still have further queries, feel free to reach me.

Drinking a lot of water (and that means more than 4-6 litres) over a short time can upset the body's sodium balance, and cause a potentially fatal condition called hyponatremia, or water intoxication. Symptoms include nausea, bloating, lapses in consciousness and seizures due to swelling of the brain.

Hi Lybrate user. Your father is 75 year old and also a heart disease, so high risk for covid19. So this is one possibility. Go for covid19 test. For how long he has fever? Chills rigor? Burning micturition/ increased frequency? His mental condition is not sound so one possibility is hyponatremia. If you are able to go for investigation then do these tests- cbc, rbs, s. Creatinine, sgpt, bilirubin, s.electrolytes, mp test, elisa typhidot igm, chest xray pa view, c/s urine. #follow these- hold ramihart as his blood pressure getting low. If still bp is low hod metoprolol 50. Monitor temperature 4 hourly. Paracetamol/crocin 650 mg 8 hourly if temperature >100f. Ors powder dissolved in 1 litre. Monitor urine output in 24 hour. Give fluid and ors powder according to urine output. Add 500 ml to urine output and give this total amount of fluid in 24 hour. Thank you. Wish you speedy recovery.
