Dietary sodium is a major determinant of urinary calcium loss (1) . High-sodium intake results in increased loss of calcium in the urine, possibly due to competition between sodium and calcium for reabsorption in the kidneys or by an effect of sodium on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion.
Primary symptoms associated with too much or too little sodium affect the nervous system and include confusion, lethargy and muscle twitching. Alterations in sodium are connected to changes in the amount of water in the blood because sodium draws water. Decreased sodium lowers blood volume, causing the blood pressure to drop and the heart rate to increase. Sodium increases raise blood volume and cause fluid to accumulate, forcing your heart to work harder.
