It's not almost impossible to have too little.

Yea but you stated the most important fact on Hyponatremia, it's most commonly found in the elderly. Those of us eating enough calories and maintaining our weight, have a very low chance of getting it, even if you limit sodium intake on purpose. I see it mostly in dementia patients who stop eating and drinking for a few days. Very hard with a diet in this country to get low sodium if you're eating.
