I recently received an IV treatment with Sodium Chloride 2.5meq/ml (20ml) solution to correct dangerously low sodium levels. I was worried about the possible side effects because I had heard about some pretty scary ones. Turns out, I felt okay afterwards, but I'm curious if anyone else has had any issues. The doctor said there are urgent side effects and other possible ones, but I didn't experience any of them. I'm just wondering if there are any long-term effects or if I'm in the clear? I've heard some people get unexpected symptoms days later, but maybe I'm being paranoid. Speaking of which I never experienced shortness of breath, chest pain, or any of the severe symptoms listed, but I'm really curious to know if anyone else has.
