Jennij Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'm taking Florinef and am wondering how much salt I should be taking in every day. Does anyone have knowledge of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneymom Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 When my son was taking this medication, I had to monitor his blood pressure about every 2 hours for several months to figure out how much salt he needed. My son would alternate water and gatorade throughout the day and salt his meals. If his blood pressure could not stay up, I would have to give him thermotabs. This is a buffered salt tablet. I went to this extreme with my son because he had very low blood pressure in the beginning of his POTS. The amount of salt a person needs is based on the individual and their situation. I was only able to figure this out by monitoring his blood pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennij Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I know people have mentioned before how many grams/teaspoons of salt they take in a day, does anyone have measurements like this to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
