I had low sodium level 119 in blood. Doctor advised me to take sodium chloride pills 1 gm twice a day. After 15 days it reached 134. Later based on the advice of a doctor I stopped taking the pill. After about a week the level has once again come down to 123. Pls advise. I'm diabetic & hypertensive.
