Gatorade Doc told my Mother to drink it because it does have a lot of sodium and also potassium
Decrease your fluid intake - if you have a potassium restriction, this won't hurt as much as gatorade might. Also, see a doctor - sodium of 115 or lower can lead to coma or death.
Eat salty foods - not the best, but it helps; pickles, chips, pre-packaged meals, store bought soups, or just table salt (which you may find tastes absolutely wonderful, but don't overdo it)

Why does drinking large volumes of plain water after exercising affect the salt balance in the body?
Body fluid contains sodium (salt). When people exercise, they sweat. Sweat contains sodium. Sweating deceases sodium, which then increases potassium levels. To restore balance, the person needs to restore fluids and electrolytes.
How does temperature affect the growth and yield of crops?
When annual temperatures increase sharply above the ideal crop temperature, it can cause a decrease in a crop's yield. Likewise, other factors like an increase in carbon dioxide levels can cause an increase in the growth of crops.

a sodium channel blocker would (increase;decrease) serum sodium levels outside of normal resting nerve cells
How to increase aldosterone?
Aldosterone helps to indirectly regulate blood levels. A low sodium diet is a way to increase aldosterone in the body.
Why does blood pressure increase with workload?
Blood pressure increase as weight increase because of raised sodium levels and thickening of the arteries.
Are sodium and potassium the final go signal in muscle contraction?
an increase in intracellular calcium ion levels
What is the effect of antidiuretic hormone on potassium concentration and excretion?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) decreases the amount of sodium in your body and when ever sodium levels go down potassium levels go up (same is true for visa versa) so the amount of Potassium should increase when there is an increase in ADH.
How many full electron levels does sodium?
there is 2 full electron levels in sodium!!
How can I get my sodium levels lower?
You can get your sodium levels lower by eating less salty foods.
Why does sodium have electrons that are not arranged in its energy levels?
Sodium atoms do have electrons that are arranged in energy levels. The electron configuration of sodium is 1s22s22p63s1.
What precaution or side effects should you be aware of when administering cyanide antidotes?
Sodium nitrite can increase methemoglobin levels, which will decrease blood oxygenation
What hormone causes increase blood sodium levels?
I'm not an expert or anything but sodium is filtered through the blood and excreted by the kidneys. So chronic renal failure will cause it to increase. This goes for potassium and other electrolytes.
What can you do at home if sodium level is 120?
This will depend on the cause of such a low sodium level. Basically speaking, though, you can increase your sodium intake to raise your sodium level. However, if your sodium level is that low due to fluid overload, then taking care of the fluid overload problem would likely return your sodium levels to a more normal level.
