MomtoGiuliana Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi Nin Salt and fluids do help many POTS patients. Salt alone may not be helpful without additional fluid too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KiminOrlando Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I take 1 mg sodium chloride pills every day. Aside from the occasional heartburn, I think they help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the occasional heartburn, I think they help. That's been my experience, too. The sodium can help retain fluids, but the associated chloride seems to increase the acidity of my stomach in uncomfortable ways. My doctor had me on IV normal saline infusions (1 liter per week) and they gave me the worst heartburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
