Overactive Reflexes
An unusual increase in reflex actions can occur, signaling severe hyponatremia.
This symptom reflects the nervous system’s heightened response to stimuli as it attempts to adapt to the sodium shortage, leading to exaggerated reflexes.
Loss of Consciousness
In severe cases, individuals may faint or lose consciousness, a direct result of the brain’s compromised ability to function. This alarming symptom indicates a critical level of hyponatremia, where the brain can no longer maintain normal operations, leading to a loss of consciousness.
