Hi there
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that excessive liquid intake can cause dilutional hyponatremia and excessive tea works as a diuretic and causes loss of sodium from the body. In this case you have to restrict your liquids and tea intake. Keep monitoring your sodium and follow the instructions given by your treating doctor.
Hope this will help
Kind Regards
