how to lower sodium serum level
Exercise daily to reduce sodium levels in the blood. When you exercise, your body gets rid of sodium through perspiration. Water dilutes sodium levels and replaces lost water from perspiration. Bill Gottlieb, author of Alternative Cures, recommends a five-minute walk each day if you already have high blood pressure.
Blood tests are done to measure the sodium level. Usually, fluids are given intravenously to slowly reduce the sodium level in the blood. In hypernatremia, the body contains too little water for the amount of sodium (see Overview of Sodium). The sodium level in the blood becomes abnormally high when water loss exceeds sodium loss, as typically occurs in dehydration. Usually, hypernatremia results from dehydration (see Dehydration).
