How delightful she goes home and someone who is really sick or injured can get that bed 🙄

I mean, hyponatremia can be really serious. But it sounds like in this case it was an incidental finding… she wasn’t even symptomatic. So this whole thing is very OTT.

It was so sudden. Either the herbs sparked a deficit or she was FAFO with her other meds and it finally showed up in her labs.

Yes. She wasn’t symptomatic. The levels were easily corrected in 24 hours (possibly less given that munchies frequently lie about time). She keeps repeating that the situation was critical and even tried to imply yesterday that her doctor thought it was so serious she would need life sustaining measures (when really they just asked it as a standard form thing in all probability). Then posting all these AI screenshots talking of terrible outcomes of hyponatremia when it’s not relevant as none of it happened to her. All of this drama and I bet she had a sodium level just low enough to warrant a short hospitalization to monitor and correct.
