Low sodium?

It hasn't a great start to my week, I blacked out dizzy on Monday morning, my BP has been really really low like 70/48 lowest, highest 96/61. So doc wants to see me, she says it is my body catching up with the weight loss, to wear support hose for blood flow, increase water intake and up my salt consumption. She got my labs back and they all look good except my sodium level is 3 points low, I sure didn't think 3 points was much but the nurse said that can make you tired and sick. So folks since we are drinking so much water/fluids we need to make sure we are getting salt also! Never would I ever think a Doc would say more salt- I can do that one easy. I love the taste of salt on my food but never use much because hubbys BP is double what mine is....Now I have an excuse!

hmmm good point Jenni, I've been a little dizzy these days, I guess I better check my BP. Thanks for the heads up. Darla

I'm having the same problem with low blood pressure. It's been going on for a few months now. The Doctor says to up my salt and drink more water. I have to be careful not to stand up too quickly or I just about fall back down. I've just slowed down alot of what I was doing and I'm taking it easy. The Dr. said my body should adjust to the lower blood pressure soon. Lizzie 333/228/???
