Hello,
Elderly are very prone to even the slightest imbalances in the level of Na & K in blood. Along with this your father also has parkinsonism which further predisposes him to it. Depending on the cause of Na deficiency, it may be a recurrent problem. Best is to identify and treat the cause. If that is not possible, correction of Na should be done by oral and injections.
Good luck.
