In a recent trip to the ER for stroke danger signs, the ER Doctor told me I was NOT getting enough salt. “It’s not only high sodium levels,” she explained, “that play havoc with your blood pressure. Low sodium is dangerous also. Get more salt in your food, especially when you are hydrating a lot.” Funny, I love salt and was using it on most meals. Even oatmeal.
At one time I ate regular potato chips and I felt a bit dizzy. I cannot check my BP because I do not have my BP monitor. Maybe I ate too much of the sodium or potassium content which are both very high.
