Hyponatremia can be misdiagnosed if not recognized promptly; suspicion should be high when risk factors are present and the patient has been prescribed antiepileptic drugs. Presence of mild symptoms such as fatigue or dizziness should lead to suspicion and subsequent laboratory testing. Patients can suffer from neurologic complications if the imbalance is not corrected.
