Dysautonomia is not common. It is diagnosed by measuring BP changes lying down vs standing up. There is often a tachycardia also present when upright.
Salt IS used for it, but there are other treatments too.
Mestinon is sometimes used, and Florinef... these control better than salt, as a rule.
Excess salt raises blood pressure and for a person without Dysautonomia, it very destructive to the blood vessels.
Telling a person to raise their salt level is risky because you as a patient cannot monitor how much salt to take!
Look up this diagnosis: POTS... on Google. There is alot about that there.
