Do Not Want: Evening Light-headedness

[netmouse]

On Monday my blood pressure clocked in at 84/56. We took it again. 96/54. Definitely lower than normal for me. The comment was that this could be due to dehydration: my blood supply has now increased by 45 to 50%; I need to drink more water.

I'm trying, I really am. In the meantime, every night since then I've started to feel positively woozy, and it's not a sensation that I particularly like. In fact, I don't like it one bit. Moving around more helps. Eating and drinking help but only a little bit. I really feel not-well in this condition. Advice is welcome.

Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that low sodium diets are for people who have a defined problem with sodium like high blood pressure. For many of us it's a necessary nutrient. (Within reason, as will all things!)
