Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyponatremia is a condition where there is a low concentration of sodium in the blood. It can occur when excessive sweating leads to fluid and sodium loss, but there is no specific time frame (such as 30 minutes) that puts someone at risk. Symptoms can be similar to dehydration, but the treatment differs as adding more water to the body can worsen hyponatremia.
