Orthostatic hypotension or dizziness on standing is a classic symptom of low blood pressure or dehydration.
Salt + water = hydration
Water follows salt.
Low salt consumption with any exposure to exertion or challenging heat/cold or stress etc reduces salt reserves.
Dehydration or hyponatremia is deadly.
The adrenals respond to this with all their adrenocortical hormones not just aldosterone.
Chronic dehydration results in chronic adrenocortical response. This changes the kidneys state of ease (releasing sodium) to dis-ease (retaining sodium). And results in adrenal fatigue or hyperplasia.
All sources of stores of sodium are raided to maintain hydration, for example: muscles, joint capsules, bones all lose salt and therefore loss of muscle mass, joint cushioning, bone density results.
The body thrives in a fully hydrated state. Think about a baby versus the elderly - the marked change is hydration. The body is self healing in a hydrated state. This is why hospitals use the ubiquitous saline drip. Rehydration is their biggest and best tool.
The red blood cells carry salt + water. Nothing to do with oxygen or carbon dioxide. They are vessels carrying and distributing salt water. The red light monitoring is checking for hydration not oxidation.
Dark RBCs are contracted and dehydrated.
Light RBCs are expanded and hydrated.
Monitoring the dark RBCs provides a measure for dehydration.
The lungs rehydrate RBCs by adding salt + water to the alveoli capillary beds as they pass through, the RBCs are spongelike and soak up the salt + water, expanding and hydrating. The saline drip adds salt water to RBCs through venous exposure.
The topic of dehydration is occulted with the medical malfeasant mis-direct to oxidation or oxidative stress.
Re- program yourself to rephrase oxidative stress to dehydration and the spell is broken.
I explain why oxygen is toxic and kills in my article titled:
We breathe air not oxygen
Be great if everyone understood why oxygen is not prescribed for breathlessness.
Instead it is primarily prescribed for the terminally ill.
Thank you for the feedback and yes indeed, salt is life, especially for those with POTS. Many need salt tablets, and/or support of the adrenals, pituitary, thyroid, sex hormones, and vasoconstrictors. Some need everything.
The best news is that POTS can eventually heal itself, whereas other dysautonomias are genetic.
And over and above all, God can heal everything and everyone. After twelve bedridden years from POTS and a TBI, He healed me, so I have full faith that God still does miracles!
