You just saved my life ,,, I have been in hospital for this and I falling breaking toes and fingers , living with headache Now I know why I can’t eat. I just ate a sandwich in 6 days. Bless you. You helped me so much. Blessings.
I hope you're doing fine !! 🙏💕I am watching this for my mom who's also been suffering from on/ off hyponatremia incidents !! Sending you lots of virtual hugs from Los Angeles !! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💕💞
Thank you for talking about this! Most US doctors don’t treat and take care of Hyponatremia unless it is so severe. I wished more doctors knew and talked about this.
I'm a US nurse and I agree. That really stood out to me when I was a new nurse because we talk a lot about it in nursing school but then dont do much in practice
I totally agree w you all here !! I am watching this for my mom who's been suffering from on/ off hyponatremia incidents for a few years !! She's diabetic, they never ever mentioned to us that diabetes causes this !! But,the treatment she received for her fall / head injury w edema got her thyroid glands damaged & hyponatremia happened they said & found a brain tumor which I had a doubt immediately. She had hypertension/ ketone breath /sky high blood sugar at the time of her fall !! Ever since then ,it's been happening 3,4 times !! I got fed up !! I am so glad that I found these videos / this channel !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💕💞
I wnt to my doctors because of low energy and fluid in ankles. I had strange sensations like I wake but cant move or feeling of floating. Really weird. And feeling drained. So I went for blood test and that same night I got call from consultant telling me I need to come into hospital. I was put on a drip by a male nurse. Few minutes later a nurse came in to check it and took me of the drip. She told me I was given pure sodium by mistake which could have caused brain damage. Thank god that nurse came in. Saved my life. My sodium levels went down to 119. Was kept in for a week. Wasnt allowed to drink much fluid. Got exrays done for kidneys and liver. I wasn't feeling sick. I just had no energy. After a week I had to cut tea down to 3 cups a day. I had to keep getting mine checked every couple of weeks until it went up to 135-140. I still have to keep getting it checked.
Thank you so much Dr. your video was so informative, well explained & very easy to understand. I have chronic moderate Hyponatremia, I get the headaches, bad muscle cramps especially legs, feet. It switches around which muscle, plus fatigued, weak, feel little dizzy lightheaded...I drink lots of water & had been drinking lots coffee. When I get those symptoms I add 1/4 tsp of salt, I mix equal parts sea salt & iodized salt. I add that to 4 oz water & drink it, then follow up with 2 or 4 oz plain water. Within 15min to 1/2 hr I feel better. What I didn't know was that in chronic cases you can get osteoporosis from your body compensating and moving salt from your bones to your blood. I have been dealing with this on & off for over a year. I have cut back on the water & coffee, but I must need to cut back on water a little more. Your video is exactly what I was searching for today. Again well done, can't thank you enough!!
So you use Celtic sea salts and iodized salt? Low sodium levels range from 132 to 133 I use Celtic Sea salt so I'm wondering what I should do any advice
I had a seizure a couple of weeks ago because of low sodium. My head hit the ceramic floor, which gave me a mild concussion, and I also split my lip open. This is a very serious condition, so please make sure you are getting enough sodium from a source such as celtic sea salt, NOT table salt. No one should ever eat table salt. It is missing most of the trace minerals that are important for proper hydration.
What a good explanation of hypronatremia. My sodium level recently tested at 128 due I’m sure to my taking in too much fluid (soda, tomatoes, watermelon, etc.) which I tend to do in the summer. I have none of the symptoms mentioned and realize now that my level was moderate and chronic. Following my Endo’s instructions I cut back on those fluids and did bring my levels up to 135 within a few weeks. I’ll have to put a note on next summer’s calendar to remind myself to watch my fluid intake.
I was just curious what type of sodium is best because there's different kinds of salts you know you have your Celtic salt sea salt your table salt without iodized or with iodized salt I'm confused which kind is best please answer this is very important to me
Thank you Dr. Fazakas! My mother has this going on right now and I wanted to get some more details. I was ready to pound the electrolytes into my mom...but that should not be done quickly. It makes so much more sense now. We'll work on the diet since she is in the 'chronic' level of this so it didn't happen overnight and it won't go away overnight. I am in a better mindset on how to follow up with her nutritionist!
hsbvt bro give एलेक्ट्रल powder इन water , or make water 1 liter with 6 teaspoons sugar and half teaspoon salt , and boil it and give her instead of plain water , it will improve the situation to normal sodium in blood , I have got best experience of this , get well soon to your mom 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you dr for your warning. It happens to me when admitted to hospital this September treated for this and sodium level under 20. They give me Av in blood to raise ir. No one told me about even my primary dr. I am educated man and got a lot of reading in Medicine . Then I understood it’s importance specifically I am a senior citizen . Thank you so much to to give explanation for people caused by the negligence of some dr have no time to explain it to patients, God bless you dr. Prof Samir Alsalhi
I have 125mmol/L but I am exhausted and my stress is starting to make things tough. This video really helped me understand how to treat myself. I am not old - I am actually gen z - but it’s so scary I am low sodium.
I am at 125 as well. Feeling exhausted and weak. It was chronic at 130 for years. Dr. didn't say anything about cutting back fluids. He said eat more salt and then prescribed an antidepressant.
The only thing I had over several months of NO SODIUM diet was extreme fatigue. After the doctor put me back on sodium pills I recovered BUT I lost my balance.
Did you adjust? I went back to following my tongue (minus about 20% since I smoke and that dulls taste), and I haven't had any problems. All my symptoms vanished. I tried no added salt to my wfpb diet and it was catastrophic for me. 80/40 blood pressure. I learned I am naturally hypotensive. I got my genes tested and they told me I'm naturally hypertensive so I thought cutting out all added salt would be a good thing. My BP was 110/70 on a heavy meat diet (3 large serving of meat a day + one serving of high saturated fat dairy a day with confirmed and true genetics that make me have a VERY poor tolerance for saturated fat meaning High blood pressure etc), and thought this was the right move. I upped my salt to 4000mg today and my symptoms resolved within three hours (dizziness, nausea, faint, feeling like I'm on an elevator when I'm not, digestive issues, nerve issues, tingling and shooting pains, burning sensation in veins, fainted three times, and had to go to ER three times. They told me my BP was waaaaay too low but I watched some videos saying 80/40 is where we should be and that 120/80 as normal is for animal based diets and was pushed by animal agriculture industries. I believed them since calcium DV recommended by the US government is twice what it should be, and a few others as well, since dairy leaches calcium from bones and makes your levels really high - cover up, I believed them.) No. I am naturally hypotensive and even if you aren't like me where I actually need 3000-3500mg of added salt a day, you still need a lot. Not too much, obviously. So it goes like this: salt to taste. If you are a smoker like me, salt to 80% taste. If you burned your tongue, salt to 50% taste. If you are a smoker and burnt your tongue, salt to 40% taste. I'm sure there are more exceptions, but you're smart, you'll figure out the percentage. Anyways, take care! I know how horrible you felt.
A no sodium diet? That's very dangerous. Doctors are really ignorant. They should be telling their patients to stop using table salt and use celtic sea salt or Redmond salt instead, since they contain all the trace minerals that table salt is missing, which are vital for our body, especially magnesium. High blood pressure is generally a low magnesium problem but doctors aren't taught this sort of stuff because they are taught which drugs to prescribe instead of investigating WHY a patient has a certain condition and addressing that.
Doctor thank you for this video. Because low sodium is very dangerous. Also I have to add I was on tegrotol for years because of my epilepsy and the consultant took me of them. He said they could cause low sodium in some people.
After watching this video I honestly think doctors in NY killed my 35 year old cousin with sodium. I even have a video of them trying to explain why his brain pressure swelled to 85 and how they have no clue what happened.
Dr.Andras, how can someone have high blood pressure and low sodium? Also.. has a younger woman the water retention around my fibroadenomas is insane and i look pregnant
High blood pressure is caused by a few things, but not salt! That's a myth!!!! Smoking and/or nicotine Stress (chronic usually if it's chronic, keep in mind that you are more stressed at the doctor's office so if that's where you're testing, then take that into account) Exercise (chronic if overexercising, intermittent if just after exercise) Heat (chronic if always around hot environments, intermittent if not) Saturated fats High cholesterol Electrolyte imbalances (many, many causes)
Yeah I was in the hospital for low sodium levels recently. I was drinking to much water and coffee I guess. My level was well below 130. It wasn't fun. Can I just take more sodium throughout the day while still drinking water? Or do I need all the other electrolytes too?
Yes!!! I had it badly yesterday acutely and I was trying to take a photo of my insurance card and my hand was shaking like a leaf. This makes sense now
I worked construction for years in summer heat. low sodium was always an issue. I kept dill pickles and V8 veggie juice in the cooler and usually several of those salt packets like you get at fast food joints as a backup when needed or if my friends needed a little. Works great to stop the shakes and increase your physical strength a bit too. I also found that Chicken or beef liver gives you a definite boost [iron] when the work gets really heavy. It and fish have no equal for nutrition.
What shall we do to treat this low sodium. My father recently fainted and later in tests we got to know that sodium level is low. He is diabetic too. And anemic too.
Get him some real salt. I use Redmond's. I tried no salt diet and was fucked. Didn't know what was going on. I had an intense craving and gave in. All symptoms have gone away now. WE NEED SALT!
How can o contact you? My father was treated with hyponatremia which was occuring for many days (>48hrs). He has been treated but getting the seizures which he never had! Just seizures and no other symptom of ODS.
Thank you very much for explaining this. I had dangerously low sodium when I went to the hospital and they gave me sodium. I end up finding out I had Addison’s disease now I try to drink some salt in my water during the day. I really don’t know how much salt I need every day it would be helpful if I did know .
Very nice doctor... I saw today u4 video..so much Information I got...about my mom recently undergone same...fortunately..severe,chronic ...low sodium condition.... Sir...now how to reduce symptoms...after we came home from. Hospital...sir pls suggest
I was in a bad condition today paining on my bones like anything...Fatigue muscles weakness....be cause I've experience before .....so all of a sudden my mind strike that it maybe due to less sodium so I took water and salt after few hours my body starts to reduce the pain....iam having epilepsy also......last two month I jus did my test electrolytes its was normal so how come now all of a sudden it happen like this maybe that I consume more water because of many medicines that I have to take thats y I have to drink lots of water...
You can give sodium to a person but they will just pee it out. The problem sometimes is iodine definciency occurs, then a low thyroid happens . A strong thyroid will help us contain or retain sodium levels.
I had to stop the medication Hydrochlorithiazade for Hyponatremia . Does that mean it’s fixed now? How do I know if this is quick treatment or slow? Also I was sent home from a major university teaching hospital with symptoms because they did not have beds in psychiatry unit of the hospital. They just simply stopped the medication hydrochlorithiazade . Why does that medication cause low sodium?
Like I said I was put on full sodium drip. Thankfully that nurse came in. I should have reported it. But I didnt. Since then when I'm in hospital i ask about everything that they give me in a drip.
Osteoporosis occurs by increasing the osteoclast activity in the bone because the body thinks there is low calcium in the blood so it will increase the osteoclast activity in the bone and increase the calcium level in the blood …..by this increased oesteoclast activity there will be increased Rick of fracture …. I don’t think it’s related to sodium…….
My father is now in ICU facing this problem for about 3 days. He is loosing his memory power and sometimes he becomes unconcious. How much time will it take to become in normal condition ? Is this the symptoms of hyponetremia??
Very good question! Hyponatremia means a low amount of Sodium in the blood. Imagine a brain cell next to the blood stream. If the concentration of sodium is low in the blood, then water will tend to move from the blood into the brain because the body hates when there is a huge difference between concentrations of 2 spaces. Therefore if we move water from the blood into the brain cell, the concentration in the blood will not be so low. But this will unfortunately cause Brain edema, since the water is in the brain instead.
In this video I explain how the water moves from cells into the blood when the sodium or glucose is high in the blood. Water will move from the blood into cells when the opposite is true, meaning, the sodium is low in the blood, thereby the water will move into cells, since the tonicity is higher there. ruclips.net/video/O28ww7c0X1E/видео.html
Nice video , clearly explained. Can you please tell how to treat Hyponatremia. my father has been recently admitted in hospital for hyponatremia , he has fainted , we took him to hospital and he has treated for 5 days. at that time his BP was 100/60.
what brought me to this video was i have been in severe pain in all my body for a long time it comes and goes through out the day today i was 10 out of 10 pain all over my body i felt sick so i thought i better eat to c if that helped well i had hot potato chips with chicken salt i don;t have salt on my food much because of high blood presure well about 1 hour after having the salt my body pain went back to about 2 out of ten doctors cant find a answer for me did i just find i out my self is it low salt whats your thoughts on this thanks
I usually don't consume much salt if any. Kept getting more and more thirsty despite urinating more often clearer and clearer. Weight continues to drop. Started licking some salt and headaches, muscle spasms, extreme thirst and dry mouth gets better. Stopped drinking water and had more salt and weight slowly returned to normal. It's very hard for me to tell if I am dehydrated or overhydrated because in both circumstances I deal with headaches, spasms and extreme thirst. I can only think the symptoms of hypo and hypernatremia are very similar and you'd only know if you tracked your fluid and urination frequently.
THATS WHAT THAT WAS?! I was told that I could go no sodium wfpb and get enough from my diet. I had so many symptoms, didn't know what was going on. I upped my salt drastically, I hope I'll be okay.
I have never been able to understand hyponatremia as much as I did watching your video. And am not even a Dr, am a nurse! All I can say is thank u, anyone saying something else is just ungrateful. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DOC!@@drandrasfazakas

Thank you Doc. I didn't know low sodium is related to osteoporosis. Wow, good info.
Chronic hyponatremia with nausea/vomiting is severe if it is caused by adrenal failure. This hyponatremia can kill quickly.
Doctor thank you for this video. Because low sodium is very dangerous. Also I have to add I was on tegrotol for years because of my epilepsy and the consultant took me of them. He said they could cause low sodium in some people.
My dad is epileptic and takes tegratol. Did you have extreme restlessness?? He hasnt been able to sleep for 8 days.
Really good information. Thank you.

Exercise (chronic if overexercising, intermittent if just after exercise)
Heat (chronic if always around hot environments, intermittent if not)
Saturated fats
High cholesterol
Electrolyte imbalances (many, many causes)
I had this. And I was missed diagnosis. They said I was withdrawing from alcohol
Yeah I was in the hospital for low sodium levels recently. I was drinking to much water and coffee I guess.
My level was well below 130. It wasn't fun. Can I just take more sodium throughout the day while still drinking water? Or do I need all the other electrolytes too?
How this affact your brain???
I shake like someone with Parkinsons when mine gets low and feel generally horrible..
Yes!!! I had it badly yesterday acutely and I was trying to take a photo of my insurance card and my hand was shaking like a leaf. This makes sense now
I worked construction for years in summer heat. low sodium was always an issue. I kept dill pickles and V8 veggie juice in the cooler and usually several of those salt packets like you get at fast food joints as a backup when needed or if my friends needed a little. Works great to stop the shakes and increase your physical strength a bit too. I also found that Chicken or beef liver gives you a definite boost [iron] when the work gets really heavy.

Eat more salt!!!!! Less water. More salt! Salt your water!
Also I have to add I was never put on any sodium tablets.
So it resoved?

I’m getting ff etc immediately after
I have labs ordered plus Inzucchi’s regarding his labs.
So all is covered.

You can give sodium to a person but they will just pee it out. The problem sometimes is iodine definciency occurs, then a low thyroid happens . A strong thyroid will help us contain or retain sodium levels.
Is dizziness and diarrhea symptoms??
Awesome
hi - my sodium is 128. How should I treat this at home? I have had low sodium for at least one year. Last year 133 this year a little lower.
Eat more salt! Get redmonds real salt. But anything. Right now!!! Tons of it!
@@Sarahizahhsum thank you!
You need to find out the cause, obviously. That is dangerous. Get your Dr to test your cortisol.
I had to stop the medication Hydrochlorithiazade for Hyponatremia . Does that mean it’s fixed now?

I'm no doctor. But the medicine is a directic and probably cause your body to lose water causing dehydration.
It's a fluid pill. Can decrease potassium too.
How does this cause seizures?
Like I said I was put on full sodium drip. Thankfully that nurse came in. I should have reported it. But I didnt. Since then when I'm in hospital i ask about everything that they give me in a drip.
Great
Sir, does HYPERVOLEMIA also cause cerebral edema. Thank you!
Yes, anything that changes the equilibrium of Sodium between the brain cells and the blood will affect the brain.

Osteoporosis occurs by increasing the osteoclast activity in the bone because the body thinks there is low calcium in the blood so it will increase the osteoclast activity in the bone and increase the calcium level in the blood …..by this increased oesteoclast activity there will be increased Rick of fracture …. I don’t think it’s related to sodium…….
Hi is it possible to discuss futher about this with you, is consultation possible please let me know.
How?
My father is now in ICU facing this problem for about 3 days. He is loosing his memory power and sometimes he becomes unconcious. How much time will it take to become in normal condition ? Is this the symptoms of hyponetremia??
How is he now?
Will hyponatremia cause a person to stop walking ,not totally stop walking walking but use a walker ?
doc. how does hyponatremia cause cerebral edema?
The blood will be less salty comperaed to the brain fluid----> water will go from blood to brain
Very good question! Hyponatremia means a low amount of Sodium in the blood. Imagine a brain cell next to the blood stream. If the concentration of sodium is low in the blood, then water will tend to move from the blood into the brain because the body hates when there is a huge difference between concentrations of 2 spaces. Therefore if we move water from the blood into the brain cell, the concentration in the blood will not be so low. But this will unfortunately cause Brain edema, since the water is in the brain instead.
I have had 128 for many months !
How it causes brain swelling? Can you please explain the part i didn't understand actually
In this video I explain how the water moves from cells into the blood when the sodium or glucose is high in the blood. Water will move from the blood into cells when the opposite is true, meaning, the sodium is low in the blood, thereby the water will move into cells, since the tonicity is higher there.

oh no not me drinking too much water everyday
Nice video , clearly explained. Can you please tell how to treat Hyponatremia. my father has been recently admitted in hospital for hyponatremia , he has fainted , we took him to hospital and he has treated for 5 days. at that time his BP was 100/60.
I went no salt and had 80/40. Glad I stopped that BS. Eat it till you feel good. Tell him that! Salllllllt! Less water!
It seems to cause everything !
what brought me to this video was
i have been in severe pain in all my body for a long time it comes and goes through out the day
today i was 10 out of 10 pain all over my body i felt sick
so i thought i better eat to c if that helped
well i had hot potato chips with chicken salt i don;t have salt on my food much because of high blood presure
well about 1 hour after having the salt my body pain went back to about 2 out of ten
doctors cant find a answer for me
did i just find i out my self is it low salt
whats your thoughts on this thanks
I usually don't consume much salt if any. Kept getting more and more thirsty despite urinating more often clearer and clearer. Weight continues to drop. Started licking some salt and headaches, muscle spasms, extreme thirst and dry mouth gets better. Stopped drinking water and had more salt and weight slowly returned to normal. It's very hard for me to tell if I am dehydrated or overhydrated because in both circumstances I deal with headaches, spasms and extreme thirst. I can only think the symptoms of hypo and hypernatremia are very similar and you'd only know if you tracked your fluid and urination frequently.
Very helpful
Whaaaat na from bones. ........
Hi po not hippo
I thought you could only get osteoporosis by calcium deficiency.
My UK doc told me it should be between 125-135
125 is too low. It should be between at least 135-145
Can low sodium make your entire body itch
YES!
THATS WHAT THAT WAS?! I was told that I could go no sodium wfpb and get enough from my diet. I had so many symptoms, didn't know what was going on. I upped my salt drastically, I hope I'll be okay.
Just closed when I heard Hippo
I'm sorry if this became the main message from this video. Next time I will do better! Thanks for the feedback.
I have never been able to understand hyponatremia as much as I did watching your video. And am not even a Dr, am a nurse! All I can say is thank u, anyone saying something else is just ungrateful. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DOC!@@drandrasfazakas
The video was excellent. How rude if you.
I believe he was trying to be very clear about hypo and hyper.
@@marymwaluko3364what type of salt should I take? My levels are around 132 to 133
