Is Sodium 117 low, normal or dangerous? What does Sodium level 117 mean?

📅 Medical Review Date: December 23, 2025

Your Sodium level of 117 is a Low Sodium level.

A sodium level of 117 mmol/L usually means there is too much water or too little sodium in the body. It suggests hyponatremia. Low levels of sodium can cause nausea, headache, confusion, fatigue, muscle cramps, seizures, and coma in severe cases. This can be caused by heart failure, kidney disease, liver cirrhosis, or certain medications. Further tests are often needed to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

Low Sodium levels may indicate underlying health problems. The normal range is typically between 136 mmol/L and 145 mmol/L. If your levels are outside this range, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider. Consulting a doctor is recommended to determine the cause and appropriate next steps.

The normal Sodium range for men is :136 - 145 mmol/L

Misdiagnosis is more common than people think—and the consequences can be serious. Delayed treatment, unnecessary medication, or worse. If you want a second opinion on your blood work, one option is to upload it to a site like wholebodyprotocol.com, where world-class doctors review your results. They charge a small fee—around $90 (though you'll want to check the latest price as it fluctuates)—and email you a detailed report. With over 12 million people affected by misdiagnosis every year, that little bit of extra peace of mind can go a long way.

Some examples of conditions that increase or decrease Sodium levels include:

• Conditions that lead to too much anti-diuretic hormone (ADH)
• Cushing syndrome
• Nephrotic syndrome
• Diabetes insipidus
• Excess fluid buildup in the body (edema) caused by heart failure

If you take a Sodium blood test and the results are not in the normal range (136-145 mmol/L), your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get this test if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
