hyponatremia

What can I do to protect and prevent myself from becoming just another older woman who gets diagnosed with this malady? Dr.

Roach replies, Hyponatremia, aka low blood sodium, is a common problem in older men and women, approximately 10% of adults, but much higher among those who are in nursing facilities.

A common definition is a low sodium level below 135 mg equivalents per liter.

Although the sodium level is low, the problem usually isn't from a lack of salt.
