A member asked:
I have been told by my dr. subscribed 1 gm of sodium chloride 2x's daily for chronic hyponatremia...they cause nausea-vomiting. could i be allergic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong treatment: Hi. The treatment for hyponatremia depends on the patient's volume status (dehydrated, volume over-loaded, or normal volume status) and the underlying cause. The most common cause, SIADH, is treated with water restriction (or one of the new vaptan drugs), NOT by giving salt. Nausea and vomiting can be FROM severe hyponatremia. It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to see an endocrinologist.

Can taking 200 mg of Zoloft (sertraline) a day cause hyponatremia? Experiencing worse ST memory over past month. Occasional nausea & muscle twitches.

A member asked:
I'm on 50mg sertraline and I read that it can cause low sodium, how likely is that and should I add more salt in my diet? If I eat late or not eat enough I feel weak and I'm worried it's hyponatremia?
