I was told to get extra, as my BP dropped as I lost weight. I wouldn't worry about extra sodium.

I think it's an individual thing .. something ot talk to your PCP about.  different conditions or medications will affect where you want to be.  But whatever that amount is, jsut try to keep in that range to avoid swings in blood pressure or water weight.

I find it a good metric to look at though, like if I'm taking in over 2000mg a day ... probably eating too many processed or pre-prepared foods.

If you're on a low carb diet, and most of us are, you will likely need to supplement your sodium intake. I drink broth and occasionally take electrolyte tablets to make sure I get enough, otherwise I get super woozy and dizzy.
