View allI'm a bit concerned about my sodium levels. I've been on medication for high blood pressure for the last 14 years and have cut down on salt as my doctor suggested. But my latest blood test showed sodium at 135 mmolL, which is just below the normal range. How can I keep my sodium levels up without eating more salt? And what are the early signs if my sodium levels are too low?
To maintain your sodium level without consuming excess salt, you can focus on incorporating foods rich in potassium, such as bananas, sweet potatoes, and spinach, as potassium can help balance sodium levels in the body. Additionally, staying hydrated is important for maintaining electrolyte balance, so make sure to drink an adequate amount of water daily. Symptoms of low sodium levels in the blood, also known as hyponatremia, may include nausea, vomiting, headache, confusion, fatigue, muscle weakness, and in severe cases, seizures or coma. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a high blood pressure reading of 13693 and I typically only manage to get about 5 to 6 hours of sleep each night. Could this lack of sleep be affecting my blood pressure levels? Although Ive had some mild anxiety in the past, Im feeling alright now, yet my blood pressure remains high. Is this normal or should I consider starting medication, or would making changes to my lifestyle be sufficient to manage it? What would you recommend?
Lack of sleep can indeed impact your blood pressure. In addition to lifestyle changes, you may benefit from medication to help manage your high blood pressure. I recommend you start taking Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 50mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make sure to get enough sleep each night. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing activities can also help in managing your anxiety and blood pressure.
