A member asked:

I have long standing hyponatremia, low chloride plus high tsh 12.8. i have been hospitalized mult times had seizure. taking 10 1gr sodium. fluid res?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

FInd out why: I trust you are not taking a diuretic for some reason, and i trust you do not have inappropriate ADH (vasopressin) secretion due to porphyria or some other illness. Especially, i hope you don't have undiagnosed addison's disease especially with the high TSH (possible schmidt's). Have you been evaluated for one of the syndromes of renal sodium wasting?

There have been 2 cases of severe seizures within the last 2 months, both times the hospital blamed it on low sodium but couldn't find anything else wrong. I have been eating a lot of salt already, could there be something they missed?
