A member asked:

Should i worry about a sodium level of 135. i have been getting headaches and low blood pressure?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Serum sodium leves: Serum sodium levels should be between 135-145. A level of 135 is a borderline reading at worse. It would not cause headaches or low blood pressure.

No: No, that is just low range of normal and probably an incidental finding. Other causes for you headaches and blood pressure issues should be sought.

Dr Ferguson and another doctor agreed
