Response from Dr. Fisher
 Regulation of sodium levels in the blood is fairly complex and relates to kidney function, fluid intake, and the pituitary gland. You need to be evaluated to find the cause of this problem. Do not increase salt intake (this almost never helps - more likely you will have to change your fluid intake). But get this checked out ASAP. AF |
