I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was moderately high a month ago, and now I'm taking Natrilix, 1.5 mg Indapamide. Is it safe for me to have a can of beer every six months, or should I be concerned? I came across some stuff online that's got me scared, and my doctor is currently out of the country.

I'm a bit concerned about my sodium levels. I've been on medication for high blood pressure for the last 14 years and have cut down on salt as my doctor suggested. But my latest blood test showed sodium at 135 mmolL, which is just below the normal range. How can I keep my sodium levels up without eating more salt? And what are the early signs if my sodium levels are too low?
To maintain your sodium level without consuming excess salt, you can focus on incorporating foods rich in potassium, such as bananas, sweet potatoes, and spinach, as potassium can help balance sodium levels in the body. Additionally, staying hydrated is important for maintaining electrolyte balance, so make sure to drink an adequate amount of water daily. Symptoms of low sodium levels in the blood, also known as hyponatremia, may include nausea, vomiting, headache, confusion, fatigue, muscle weakness, and in severe cases, seizures or coma. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
