Hyponatremia

Hyponatremia is a condition in which the level of sodium in the blood is lower than normal, leading to symptoms such as nausea, headache, confusion, seizures, and coma. It can be caused by excessive fluid intake, certain medications, and medical conditions that affect fluid balance. Treatment involves identifying and treating the underlying cause and correcting the level of sodium in the blood, which may involve reducing fluid intake, increasing sodium intake through diet or supplements, or hospitalization for more severe cases. Seeking medical attention is important, as hyponatremia can be life-threatening if left untreated.
