What Causes Shortness Of Breath Along With Dizziness?
Went to er 2 days ago because of episodes of slight breathtaking problem in the last 4 days ,decided to get it checked out due to th added symptoms of lightheaded and headache. Rx and ekg and lab works were normal other than sodium level of 122. They infuse 1 L of ns within half hour. Er md said it was all anxiety that cause it. Recently my personal care provider diagnosed with conversion disorder. Would that cause also a low sodium level ? I have hex of diabetes and hypertension.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You may need to look at any medications that you are using to see if any are associated with a loss of sodium. Some blood pressure medications can cause hyponatremia (low sodium values).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
