That's great you sent in for your HMA. Hope you will share your results. Many of us on the Nutritional Balancing board have sent ours in last week as well.

As for the Sea Salt , a good quality salt shouldn't raise your bp. but you could try a little and see how you feel. Many are using the Hawaiian Bamboo Jade Sea Salt .

Can't say anything about the pressure, sorry.

I take Standard Process calcium lactate powder which also has some magnesium it. 1 tablespoon in apple juice before bed. Definitely helps with sleep.

Best to you!

At that water may have been flushing away what little electrolytes you have.

My practitioner got me to cut back on water. Just sip is slowly through the day

I had hypotension when I was in low cortisol stage 3.
The hypotension went away as I got better. I would always dangle my legs over the edge of the bed before getting up.
I also could not bend over without getting dizzy when I stood up.

I too had elevated blood pressure that went away as my cortisol levels got better. I do beleive the body needs Sea Salt like Dr.Brownstein says in his book "salt your way to heath".

I have done this experiment on my friends that have elevated blood pressure...I take their blood pressure then I give them a 1/2 teaspoon of Sea Salt in a glass of water then wait 15 min. then take their blood pressure again and watch the blood pressure drop...they are amazed how it works so well.

I use the calcium/magnesium before bed and also some 50mg. 5 htp timed released to relax me to fall asleep

Hope this helps you
