Low Sodium In Blood

My doctor checked the medication I take and she said that it is not my medication and thinks that his is a lab error or something in my body. What could do that and how do you fix this?? What could be side effects if this continues?

Sodium is an electrolyte (with potassium chloride and others). If you do not have enough of your system, you can get some symptoms of dehydration among other things.

My first suggestion would be to re-test your blood (a new provision would be a good idea) to ensure it was not a lab error. If this is not a laboratory error, it means you do not have enough sodium in your diet and perhaps consult your doctor or dietitian to determine what changes in your diet is appropriate and healthy.

Thank you for that question and the answer to all the websites listed.
I also have low sodium levels more likely Addison's disease - affected by removal of two of my adrenal glands due to Cushing's syndrome.
My doctor told me normal was more than 137 matter, and mine is 126.
She told me to stop drinking water and soda or juice or milk that has since sodium and will not remove what I have on.

I wonder if you have more info.

Good luck.

What your doctor will want to do, I think it is caused by not enough potassium in your diet, salt and potassium are associated

Hyponatremia is the decrease in plasma Na <136 mEq / L caused by an excess of water relative to solute. Common causes include a diuretic, diarrhea, heart and kidney failure. The clinical manifestations are primarily neurologic (due to osmotic movement of water in cells), particularly in acute hyponatremia, and headache, confusion, stupor, convulsions and coma can occur. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma Na, plasma and urine electrolytes and osmolality help determine the cause. The treatment is to reduce water consumption and the promotion of its loss, the replacement of all Na deficit, and treat the cause.
Sodium is the major cation (positive ion) that circulates in body fluids outside the cells. It is an essential element of maintaining blood pressure. Sodium is also essential for the functioning of nerves and muscles.
In hyponatremia, the imbalance of water to salt is caused by one of three conditions:
* Hypovolemic hyponatremia - water and sodium are both lost from the body, but the sodium loss is greater.
* Hypervolemic hyponatremia - both sodium and water content in the body increase, but water gain is greater.
* Hyponatremia Euvolemic - there is an increase in total body water, but the sodium content remains constant.
Hyponatremia is the most common disorder of electrolyte in the United States. It occurs in approximately 1% of patients admitted to the hospital.
The causes of hyponatremia include:
* Burns
* Vomiting and diarrhea
* The use of diuretics (water pills "), including the type known as thiazide diuretics
* Certain kidney diseases
cirrhosis of the liver *
* Congestive heart failure
* Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH)
SIADH is an inability of the body to excrete dilute urine. Common causes of SIADH are various cancers, central nervous system disorders, medications, hypothyroidism (subnormal levels of thyroid hormones), and under extremely stressful conditions, including surgery.
