Suggest Treatment For High Sodium Levels In Blood
Hi,
My mom has been on a diuretic for the last two years. Went for a routine blood test today and her DR. called and said her sodium level was 94. He said this was
low and she should stop the diuretic. I have just read info about low sodium levels and is this treatment enough? He said her last blood test 6 months ago the level was a little low but this time it was significantly low.

1.Diuretcs should be stopped immediately
2.High sodium diet , salt capsules or sachet can be given
3. Immediate correction is contraindicated since it lead to CPM
4. proper monitoring of sodium level is must
5 .If any change in behaviour surely shows low levels
