What Causes Dizziness And Fatigue While Suffering From Low Blood Sodium Levels?
for six months time my blood test have shown low blood sodium 133. MY urine testing is normal. I have been tested after repated spells of thirst, light headed & lethargy. THe symptoms do improve but I can never feel colpletely well. My doctor said my sodium has been on the low side of normal or just one number below normal during the past 2 physical exams. I am 59 and otherwise always have been healthy. I do drink red wine and since this began have quit when these spells happen. I was told to also limit my water to 48 oz and drink juice or sports drinks. ANy ideas on what is wrong with me? I have been refered to an endocrinolgist Who sent me to check for autoimune issues that do not seem unlikely but I have been tested for them and am awaiting results. Thank you
Low sodium level in the blood may cause disoriented, dizziness. Your level 133 is just a little low. Kindly increase salt intake. Kindly check blood sugar level, blood pressure after consultation to rule out other causes of dizziness like hypoglycemia, hypertension or hypotension. Keep your self-hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shyam B. Kale,
