I often have low sodium and potassium. Like some of the others I use high sodium content food in order to try to keep my BP up.
I'm in a Catch-22. They would like me to lower my intake of fluids in order to get my sodium and potassium level up, but when I do so my urine gets cloudy and ultimately clog my catheters. I'm going to have them check my blood shortly and determine if it is feasible to start taking sodium and potassium supplements.
