Re: How to treat postural orthostatic tachycardia

[Guest guest]

It was taking sodium everyday in electrolyte drinks that eventually

brought my bp up to normal. I didn't try Florinef (don't know enough

about it) because I thought that needs for that hormone would change

with time, and people in the Addison's groups reported difficulty with

determining the right dose.

Sometimes I include potassium - I am very careful to only include a

small amount if I determine that I need it, by taste.

My bp still goes down and my heart rate still goes up high at times.

Hi

I don't take salt, because it makes me swell (and I'm vain!). Maybe I

should. Do you know if serum sodium any reflection on the body's need

for salt? Mine has been high in the range for a couple of years, but

is dropping back to mid-range now. I take a small dose of potassium

most days, as I read that Florinef can make you low in this.

I find that the heart racing is worse when I take ALA - so that must be

adrenal stress, although it doesn't get better with higher doses of

pred. I also have mild gastroparesis, which can be down to

dysautomnia, and dilated pupils occasionally . Do you know how does

mercury affect the central nervous system, or is it because my adrenals

are in such bad shape?

thanks for any input
