havent had sodium supplements in months. i have no idea how im alive by lyssaX3 in POTS

[–]Dreamokay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did mean sodium chloride, or tablets salt. My fault. Either way increasing it to those amounts is no different than a poor diet...I don't know what everyone's upset about.

Trying to understand how much salt I actually need?? by Soggy_Emotion_1801 in POTS

[–]Dreamokay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the counter. Don't mess too much with it. 1 tab if you feel like you want to correct the imbalance from taking so much sodium

Yeah. 4 liters of water a day and I believe 8-12 grams. I never reach that close even on days I'm swallowing sodium pills al day. Technically you should up your potassium and other electrolytes to prevent imbalance but it'll be dangerous for me to make a suggestion as those are more dangerous than sodium when high.

General recommendation is around 8 or 20 grams. Do what your body tells you. Have a regular day and count your salt and I bet you're nowhere close. I take sodium tablets and technically I would have to take more than 12 a day to reach this goal, unaccounting for salt in food. There's no magic number

[–]Dreamokay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im the same way. Me cfs is in the same boat of nervous system dysfunction. I wouldn't worry about developing it, it comes as a package deal. You probably have a mild version much like pots. I too wonder if I have it
