What is Hyponatremia?

Hyponatremia occurs when the sodium concentration in the blood is abnormally low. Sodium is an electrolyte and helps regulate the amount of water in and around the cells.

Diagnostic Questions for Hyponatremia

  • Have you experienced any seizures?
  • Have you been experiencing decreased motivation recently?
  • Have you been experiencing nausea or vomiting?
  • Do you have a headache?

Treatment of Hyponatremia

Hyponatremia treatment aims to address the underlying cause, if possible. If severe, acute hyponatremia is present, more aggressive treatment is required. Options include intravenous fluid and medications.

Q.

Confusion and Nausea? Why Your Sodium Is Low (Hyponatremia) & Medical Next Steps

A.

Confusion and nausea can be signs of low sodium in the blood, or hyponatremia, which can progress from mild to life-threatening and warrants prompt medical care, especially with severe headache, persistent vomiting, seizures, or extreme drowsiness. There are several factors to consider, from excess water intake and medications to heart, kidney, liver, thyroid, or adrenal problems, and treatment depends on the cause with sodium corrected slowly to avoid harm. See complete details below to learn key risks, when it is an emergency, what tests confirm it, and the right next steps.
