Too many trips to bathroom, sensitivity to sodium

Hi all, I am hoping others can share their experiences because my issues with sodium are impacting my life pretty significantly. For the relatively small amount (1100mg) of sodium I consume, I need a rather large amount of water in order to feel mentally focused and alert and avoid sluggishness. However, drinking so much water puts me in a negative position because it prevents me from sitting for long periods of time and focusing on things I need to get done. Could this be a kidney issue? I am waiting for appointments to come up, but am hoping someone else may have a suggestion that might help, thank you!

Best,

Anthony
