Physical Examination
After asking for your medical history and symptoms, the doctor will do a physical examination to check for these signs in depth. More specifically, he or she would check different parts of the body to see whether they are affected by an abnormally level of sodium in the body. A neurological exam is probably needed when hyponatremia affects your cognitive system. Nevertheless, it is almost impossible to diagnose this health issue just based on the physical examination because these symptoms are relatively common in many conditions. Thus, some additional tests might be performed in the doctor’s office. [2]
