Low sodium levels

My father recently had attack and they have put one stent and was discharged after 8 days. After 2 days that is on 10th day my father complained of extreme weakness and vomitings from last night. We have again admitted in hospital and after the tests doctor informed my father sodium level is 119. Is the low level of sodium is expected after a stent?

No.After he had vomitted he must have lost sodium.Also it can be due to medicines prescribed after stenting
