Hypernatremia

Hypernatremia is a condition where the sodium level in your blood becomes too high. Sodium helps control the balance of fluids in your body. When there's too much sodium, it can cause your cells to lose water, leading to symptoms like thirst, confusion, weakness, and in severe cases, seizures or coma. It often results from dehydration, excessive salt intake, or certain medical conditions. Managing hypernatremia involves replenishing lost fluids carefully and addressing the underlying cause to restore normal sodium levels and prevent complications.
