Salt question

[Guest guest]

Dr Grim,

I still wonder, why would the hospital I was in the MICU in July 2005 year give me salt on my tray. My sodium was is in range. All hospitals, ALWAYS have me on a totally normal diet. You would think last year, when they confirmed I had 300 BP that I would be on a low salt diet.

I 2004 in the hospital after my stoke for seven days I was on a normal salt diet, and then over 30 days in Rehab -- again, a normal diet. I had to ask them to change my diet to low salt. Since I am used to low salt they were giving me foods I hated. I mean to me it was too salty. Like lot of bacon and eggs with salty cheese. They still kept salt on the tray.

Is there anyting in a lab that tells the dietician to give the person salt.
