I feel like I'm in a catch 22 with salt. My doc recommended it and it helped with energy and mood. I felt magical on it. I take a pinch of Himalayan salt every hour and throw it on everything. I don't even want to think how much I take.

Recently a doc ordered aldosterone test and it was mega low. The recommendation is to take florinef to fix it.

I since learned you should limit salt for 2 weeks prior to the test so I'm not sure how reliable the test is.

Salt makes you feel better so you crave more but it lowers aldosterone making you need salt and then you get stuck in a cycle.

Can anyone help. I don't know whether to wean off salt and get aldosterone tested again, keep up with the salt or take the florinef???

PS if you're getting tested make sure you do it before adding salt to your diet
