But I have no adrenals, cannot control salt, take salt and florinef like there is no tomorrow as it is... Feel like crud when the BP cannot get to the 100's.
I like the high salt diet though... the receptionist there shakes her head when the cardiogist told me to eat more potato chipsfor the salt! Wheat thins with cheddar cheese just melted for a few seconds in the microwave - for my health... hah!

You really need a TTT! I believe I would find another cardiologist and get a 2nd opinion. What is the harm in getting one (a TTT)? It sounds like he believes you have something going on if he is telling you to eat more salt and has you on Florinef?!? Have you tried compression stockings? Those work great for me, when I can get them on!!
