Low Sodium
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi all, I have just had my annual round of blood tests done, all came back perfectly normal including all the thyroid function tests. The sodium test however came back lower than the recommended level and has done over the last few years. Has anyone else had similar results or is this just true for me.
It is strange how one keeps hoping for something tangible to explain the pain, discomfort and fatigue one is suffering.
Have as good as possible weekend everyone, and keep on surfing.

I dont think low sodium is directly connected to the fibro. Low sodium is sometimes caused by diuretic meds or sometimes liver issues or disease. Generally a minor low count is not considered problematic and may just need a quick 'tweak' of your diet etc. If the problem is severe your doctor would have reacted with further tests or medications I guess so it's probably nothing too much to worry about. Are you on heart pressure meds where you have to take diuretics too? Sometimes sweating a lot (eg sports activities etc) and drinking lots of fluids to cool down can do it because you're sweating out salt and replacing with water with no salt. Did you doc recommend salt tabs or changes to diet?
