Low Sodium (Hyponatremia) Level of 120: Symptoms & Urgent Medical Care
If your sodium level is 120, it is considered extremely low and you need immediate medical attention. Do not attempt to treat this at home.
Hyponatremia, or low sodium levels, can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
- Confusion and difficulty concentrating
- Headaches
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fatigue and weakness
- Muscle cramps and spasms
- Seizures

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
Treatment for hyponatremia typically involves administering fluids and electrolytes intravenously (IV) to correct the sodium levels. In some cases, medications may also be prescribed.
