Hyponatremia treatment

Hyponatremia occurs when blood sodium levels become abnormally low.

Hyponatremia
Runners who compete in "ultra-endurance" races sometimes develop hyponatremia, potentially dangerous condition caused by drinking too much water. Hyponatremia has been recognized as a growing problem among marathoners who drink large amounts of water during competition, which dilutes the blood's sodium content. Less experienced runners seem to be at greatest risk; because they take much longer to finish the race than elite athletes do, their water intake can be far greater.

Hyponatremia symptoms
Hyponatremia often causes relatively mild symptoms such as headache, cramps and nausea. Severe overhydration can lead to disorientation, seizures, coma or even death.
