Dear Dr. Lam
Thanks for reading this question.
I have just found out via saliva and adrenal Stim tests that I have a deficient adrenal system with low cortisol among other things. I also have very low salt levels.
My doctor advised me to drink sea salt dissolved in water. I am doing this but I find that it is making my eyes and hands really puffy, which I don't like. Is this a sign that I am drinking too much salt or is this simply a temporary thing? I hope this is not permanent!
Any info would be appreciated

This is a reply to # 1,347,891Thanks so much for answering my question.
I am confused about aldosterone levels and salt intake. On my adrenal stimulation test my adosterone level wass very high. On the test it said that this is connected with a low sodium diet.
So if I take saltwater, then won't those levels go down? Is that bad?
Also, because I have high aldosterone levels, is that why I get so bloated when I take saltwater? Does this mean I should do something else instead?- Re: sea salt supplementation for adr... Dr. Lam

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,348,102your deduction is somewhat simplistic. At different stage of adrenal faituge, you can have varying levels of aldosterone level and clinical correlation is many times off. Astute clinician will be able to explain to you without any problem.
