My sodium started running below normal. It can definitely make me feel weak and lethargic. A kidney dr recommended I take a sodium tablet every morning and keep liquids about 60 oz per day. A nurse gave me sample packets of DripDrop I mix in water to drink when I exercise at the gym. It's an electrolyte mix. Ask your dr if a sodium supplement would be helpful or harmful in your situation. Side note, people who take some medications, ex beta blockers, often have low sodium.

I am taking a beta blocker for my newly developed high blood pressure. I always had low BP until I got Covid one year ago this month actually. Been having a time finding something that works that doesn’t end up sending me to ER for bad side effects. So far it’s been Metoprolol ER. But I want it out of my body! I am at a loss as to why my dr tells me to keep taking it even when my sodium is at a steady 125 every time i do labs.
