Low Electrolytes
Low electrolytes may be a symptom of night sweats. Electrolytes are naturally occurring nutrients in the body that control essential functions, such as heartbeat regulation and muscle contractions. These nutrients include magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphate and chloride.
Electrolytes may become depleted by a loss of bodily fluids through excessive sweating. Low electrolytes may interfere with the body's ability to function properly. An individual with an electrolyte imbalance may experience dizziness, cramping or an irregular heartbeat.
