Yes, you read that correctly
Lately, I have been feeling light headed and dizzy sometimes when going from a lying down position to a sitting/standing position. Also, it sometimes happens when I bend over to tie my shoes. I am on a ton of medications that may be causing it but for now my neurologist has said for me to increase my salt intake as he thinks my blood pressure drops when I stand up. How do I add salt to my diet besides eating more potato chips and french fries? I am already overweight so I don't want to pack on the pounds. I also don't want to just sprinkle salt over every meal I eat because that is gross.
