    Seizures from low sodium levels are most likely to occur from a serious disease, acute infection or because you tried to run a marathon on a hot day. One-time or isolated seizures from these causes do not warrant a diagnosis of epilepsy. However, epilepsy is sometimes misdiagnosed and you may have an underlying health condition that is causing an electrolyte problem. Furthermore, a common anti-epileptic medication called oxcarbazepine can reduce your blood-sodium levels with time. Therefore, it’s possible that epilepsy can begin as a condition unrelated to low sodium levels, but later aggravated and triggered by medication that leads to hyponatremia.
