Confusion
Cognitive functions can be impaired, leading to difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions. This confusion results from the brain’s sensitivity to changes in sodium levels, affecting its ability to process information and manage cognitive tasks efficiently. [6]
Irritability
Mood swings and a short temper may become apparent as the brain and body struggle to cope with the lack of sodium. The mental and emotional impact of hyponatremia underscores the brain’s reliance on stable sodium levels for optimal function, influencing mood and behavior.
