Lithium levels can be affected by changes in sodium levels and hydration status. Excessive sweating during exercise can lead to dehydration, potentially increasing lithium levels in the body to toxic levels. It's important for individuals taking lithium to maintain a consistent intake of salt and fluids and to consult their physician if they experience significant changes in their hydration status, such as from excessive sweating.
