Doctor warns: These medications, including one for high BP, can drop sodium levels and make you feel weak
While excessive sodium intake is often cautioned against, maintaining adequate levels is crucial for bodily functions. Low sodium, or hyponatremia, can lead to various symptoms and is a risk for older adults, athletes, and those on certain medications like thiazide diuretics and SSRIs. Consulting a doctor if experiencing unusual fatigue or confusion is advised.
