Other contributing factors are pain medications, antidepressants, and diuretics, as well as an under active thyroid, heart or kidney failure, cirrhosis and dehydration. The symptoms of hyponatremia include nausea, headaches, confusion, lethargy, and loss of consciousness. If low blood sodium is found through medical tests, such may be advised to temporarily reduce fluid intake while the underlining problem for the condition is treated.
