Since going from from vegetarian to vegan I keep experiencing hyponatremia. If I eat a salty snack it only resolves it for a short time. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night shaking and panicking then have to eat salt and go back to sleep.
No I don't take any medication, don't drink lots of water, I have been adding lots of sea salt to meals but it's like my body can't hold onto it
That's it? Just, Ï don't know,"and you're on your way? If she doesn't have the desire to continue searching for an answer, you need to seriously find someone who does. Why are you accepting "I don't know" for an answer? Please take care of yourself xoI went to the doctors 2 months ago. She didn't know. The blood test showed b12 was low but I've now been taking this for 6 weeks and it hasn't resolved the problem.
Have you made any progress on that hyponatremia issue? Hope you are doing better. Let us know.No I don't take any medication, don't drink lots of water, I have been adding lots of sea salt to meals but it's like my body can't hold onto it

The answer was essentially B12. Like most on here I'm aware of b12 I used to take it every week but that wasn't enough for me so now I take a small amount every day.
You see the b12 deficiency was causing me to urinate all the time, I would even sometimes leak out pee so I must have been peeing out salt and probably other electrolytes as well. This is all resolved now, by day 4 of taking b12 every day I was peeing normally again.
That is wonderful news! Please do keep your eye on your levels as too much B12 is not good either. Hopefuly you will find a good balance.
