Sheila1366 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I ordered some today for my daughter. Wanted to try this before trying florinef. So far all we are doing is not helping to keep her BP up.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperPOTS8 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Yes! Love salt tablets. I have to take Florinef, too, but hopefully your daughter won't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach73 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hi,I use salt tablets, without them my bp drops between 10-20 points and I black out daily. Although my health is still rubbish salt tablets mean I can get out of bed and get down stairs safely and get more involved in life. I did try florinef but it gave me headaches and migraines, I tried midodrine but that stopped me urinating and gave me gastric distress - a real bummer as midodrine made a massive difference but I would end up being bed bound again from the pain from my abdomen or bladder.Good luck with the salt tablets to me they have made a massive difference.Rach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martiz Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I got a stomach ache from the salt tablets - I think it was the fillers.I use natural sea salt, either in water or under my tongue followed by water.It would be nice to have tablets when running errands but I usually just grab a salt packet from a fast food place and put that under my tongue and drink 8 oz of water.Marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneymom Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 My son takes Thermotabs. They are a buffered salt supplement and he also has to take florinef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E Soskis Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I never had much success with salt tablets - I just try to eat a lot of salt on my food and choose salty-type foods to eat.....this becomes problematic when I am admitted to the cardiac floor of the hospital - all they want to serve is "heart healthy" food...aka..no salt....just try and explain to the staff why you need a lot of salt - it's pretty comical!

Batik Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Martiz - why under your tongue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
