Extremely high sodium levels, or hypernatremia, can lead to seziures and even death. Sodium is responsible for regulating the amount of fluid in your body, controlling blood pressure, bone growth, and for the proper trasmission of signals between nerves. So, too much sodium = dehydration & high blood pressure. The kidneys filter out sodium into the urine for excreatment, so if you're constantly going over your RDA of sodium - drink water. Lots of it. That's the only way your body can keep it's balance.
