Mrs. Burschman Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I was wondering if anyone knows the answer to this question: Is salt-loading recommended for both the partial-dysautonomic and hyperadrenergic forms of POTS? My doctor's nurse suggested that I increase my salt intake. I was just curious if that's a global suggestion.I'm trying to increase it, but I don't like it very much. I've been taking two Thermatabs per day and trying to eat salty snacks, but it's hard! I guess I shoulda had a V8!Thanks!Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloppyllama Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Im not sure exactly what the two types are, however we increase our salt because our bodies cant circulate our blood properly, so if we have more to circulate then it will be easier on us. So if both forms have the whole blood pooling issue and such, then i would say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
