Every so often when I have blood work done my Drs call that my sodium level is very low and I have to take sodium bicarbonate pills...8 a day and I have a lot of salt in my diet which I know is bad....I also have had a heart Dr. tell me to eat more salt because my blood pressure is so low!!

Good morning, I have a friend who is a quadriplegic C5-6, and during the past six months he has been in the hospital five times. I don't know all the facts, I will try to determine more information, but one symptom is low blood pressure. The idiots in the hospital take urine cultures and tell him that he has a bladder infection. Duh! Last Sunday he started a gurgling sound, eyes rolled back in his head and appears to have a seizure. The ambulance was called and his heart stopped twice, but was restarted. The only thing that is abnormal is the fact that his body is not processing sodium and they must give him intravenous sodium. The heart doctor says he has no problem, the kidney doctor says that his kidneys look good, in my opinion they're all a bunch of idiots. Anything sound familiar, other than the doctors are idiots?
