I’m aware that the wiki has all the information about how much sodium and how much potassium and all that to take. But right now the issue is I was taking the amount it recommended and I still felt dizzy. I’ve heard it’s dangerous to go over the sodium limit, but how do I calculate for my personal body weight? How much sodium I should be taking? Also what is the best way to take the sodium? Honestly the drinks that include like sodium and potassium and like a squirt of mio or something taste disgusting to me. The way I was doing it was I had a glass that had the exact measured out amount that the wiki recommended and then I would slowly drink it throughout the day like I’d take a sip of it and then have lots of water that was plain. Is this an okay method?
I got sooo messed up. Spent 3 weeks fainting through the day (thought it was low iron). Finally figured out it was VERY low blood pressure due to low salt/electrolytes. I tight I was drinking liquids all day, but I was also very dehydrated.
My Fix? I bought one of those 1/2 gallon jugs with the hours of the day marked on the side. Every morning I add 2 teaspoons of salt and fill it up. The average person needs 1.75 to 2.25 t of salt a day, so I picked the middle point.
So, I keep the jug in a centrally located place. As I pass by it, I check the clock and drink to the hour I’m at.
My fairing spells are almost completely gone. Rare now. I did gain 3 pounds the first day, but I think that was my body putting back on the water weight. My blood pressure is now in the normal range. Raised 10 points on each side.
I still drink several cups of tea a day, but, if nothing else, I know for sure I got enough liquid out of the water jug.
