The physical examination findings of SIADH depend on the level of sodium and rate of change of sodium levels. The physical examination findings in case of mild to moderate SIADH include Headache, lethargy, impaired memory, gait instability, and frequent falls. In case of severe SIADH, findings such as confusion, hallucinations, dysarthria, psychosis, seizures, hemiplegia, limb weakness, tremors, and coma may ensue.

Patients with SIADH usually appear with altered sensorium. Physical examination findings of patients with SIADH is remarkable for:

-The signs and symptoms of [[SIADH]] are mainly dependent on sodium levels, and the rate at which the level changes. Because the [[signs]] and [[symptoms]] of hyponatremia occur in many conditions, it's impossible to diagnose the condition based on a [[physical]] exam alone.
