Sodium deficiency: symptoms of sodium and nutrition deficiency
-
Sodium deficiency symptoms mainly consist of muscle cramps and muscle weakness. Sodium is an important part of table salt (sodium chloride). Sodium is an important mineral that performs various functions in the human body. Together with potassium, sodium provides the right balance in the moisture balance. Sodium and potassium also play a role in the functioning of muscles and nerves. A human needs little sodium and since sodium is present in almost all foods, a sodium deficiency will not occur quickly. A high sodium level in the blood can be caused by loss of a lot of fluid and / or too little fluid intake. Based on your complaints, your medical history and physical examination, a doctor may suspect that there is too little or too much sodium in the blood. Blood tests can confirm this.
