    GlossaryHyponatremia

    low sodium levels in the blood causing various symptoms

    Hyponatremia, also known as low blood sodium, is a condition where the sodium levels in the blood are abnormally low. Sodium is essential for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle function. When sodium levels drop too low, it can lead to symptoms such as headache, confusion, seizures, and in severe cases, coma. This condition can result from various factors, including excessive water intake, certain medications, heart failure, kidney problems, or hormonal imbalances.
