That makes sense. I was talking to a lady the other day that ended up in the er because she was trying to lose weight and drank so much water she washed all the saline out of her body.
Too much water can kill you!
Many HBP patients take a diuretic which further eliminates electrolytes as in my mom in law’s case. Yet, she is so stubborn. When she gets low or we deduce she is getting low (how she acts and if she has been sweating) we make her take a certain salt tablet to get on track.
My son also sweats and he would get leg cramps and severe fatigue when he played football or threw shot put. We had to supply the salt tablets when he played college football because the athletic trainer only provided pickle juice. The strength coach started ordering the brand we used for players that needed them. Pickle juice? I couldn’t believe it but I think they were warned against salt tablets maybe.
