Sodium and low bp

Q: Is there any correlation between low sodium levels and low BP?

A: Acute loss of sodium can cause dehydration and low blood pressure. This is why sports drinks were developed to keep athletes hydrated because sodium is lost through sweating. Just replacing lost water is not enough.
