[QUOTE="ringi, post: 2161218, member: 410240"] Keeping sodium, magnesium and potassium high enough may be important for you, the standard NHS blood tests will only tell you if they are [B]very[/B] low as the body adjusts how much water is in the blood if they are a little low. The reduction in blood volume this leads to is one possible reason for low BP, but there are other reasons your GP can investigate if it becomes an issue. Hence I think a magnesium supplement along with making an effort to use a lot of salt and "lo salt" (for potassium) would be wise. (Modern farming methods results in lower levels of magnesium in our food.) [/QUOTE]
