Dear friend, welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.


Low sodium and potassium can occur due to Natrilix (indapamide) which is a water-pill.
It has been rightly stopped.
Your BP needs better control. Metpure XL is a good alternative in addition to olmesar.
Low sodium and high BP may cause restlessness, abnormal behavior, sleeplessness etc.
Recheck sodium and get evaluated again by your doctor. Sodium should not go down too much toward 120 where risk increases.

I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily. I would be glad to answer any further queries. Take care and please keep me informed of your progress at http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole
Good Luck!
