Default Potassium Sodium questions

I have been feeling really, really tired and weak lately. I just had blood tests done at my regular yearly exam, and the Dr. says everything is normal except for an unusually low level of sodium. He just left a message on my machine and is not available to me to answer questions (I know, I need a new Dr.)

Does anyone know if the low sodium could be related to low potassium? I love salty foods and use salt liberally, but I find that my maintenance diet is somewhat diuretic. I love not retaining water, but am I peeing out something I need? I have eliminated all processed/packaged foods, which are super high in sodium, but, as I say, I don't shy away from adding salt to anything I want to. The Dr.'s phone message only said that it was low and that I didn't need to worry about avoiding salt. I eat lots and lots of green veggies, nuts, and fish.
