Nausea
Nausea is a symptom of many diseases and conditions, including low sodium levels. Vomiting is a symptom of many diseases and conditions but can be caused by low sodium levels. Some people will use their signs to diagnose themselves.
While this may sound like an impossible situation to untangle (and believe me, it is), there are ways that we can help them identify which factors might be contributing to nausea or vomiting symptoms. The first step would be taking a thorough history.
This usually involves asking questions about a person’s past medical history and any medications that they take currently. If this provides little insight, tests should be made before making conclusions about whether they’re related.
