I have had hypertension for over 40 years and have a tough time controlling it with the right medication and diet. Recently I had to go to the ER as my BP was 228/122 and they game me clonidine to lower it. I very rarely use salt and use sea salt instead. However, I also have a low sodium count. What do I do to equalize this situation?
And why would you think sea salt is not salt?
Annie, yes sea salt is salt, but without all the chemicals and iodine of table salt. I still don’t use a lot of it either. So am still baffled why my sodium level is so low, but my BP is so high.
Thanks for commenting.
I too have high blood pressure,mostly controlled by medicine, which is changing because of reaction to meds. And I also have low sodium.when I asked about it I was told that it is hyponeutremia, which tells me nothing because I can’t find any thing about it. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks!
here is some info from Mayo Clinic on hyponatremia – http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hyponatremia/DS00974
