What health problems will you face if your sodium level is high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypertension: Depending on the sodium levels. Without going to the explanations for hypernatremia. Sodium will make your body retain water secondary to osmolality. The more water you retain, the more pressure inside your vessels. More Pressure = Hypertension.
