Should I Worry About Sweating When One Of My Medications Gave Me Hyponatremia?

Posted on Mon, 20 Dec 2021

Question: One of my medications gave me hyponatremia they lowered it and my sodium has been fine. Should I worry about sweating

Answered by Dr. Kathy Robinson (10 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
No worries about sweating

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

No, you do not need to worry about sweating. If the medication was causing the low sodium and it was removed then you do not need to worry about low sodium from sweating.
Exercise and sweating is good for you. Make sure you get plenty of fluids when sweating a lot and consider taking a multivitamin daily.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Dr. Robinson

They just lowered it not removed it

Brief Answer:
Okay, thanks

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

If they lowered the medication enough so that your sodium is normal then still you do not need to worry about sweating. It will not deplete your sodium the way a pharmaceutical medication does.

Best wishes,

Brief Answer:
Yes, that should be okay

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Yes, as long as you stay well hydrated and are eating properly your sodium should be stable. Your doctor should check it periodically, though since you are still on a lower dose of the medicine.

Best wishes to you,
Dr. Robinson
