Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / May 2008Salty meal - How long do effects last?
After a salty meal, say 1-2 grams of sodium, how long will the effects last? Effects such as water retention and increased blood pressure (if you're sodium sensitive). What if you drink a couple quarts of water shortly after? Won't the sodium be gone as soon as the water is? Thanks Bob > After a salty meal, say 1-2 grams of sodium, how long will the effects > last? For normal people, there would be no effect. For hypertensive people, who tend to be more "sodium avid," there can be blood pressure elevation for 1-2 days. > Effects such as water retention and increased blood pressure (if > you're sodium sensitive). As a general rule, there is increased blood pressure with increased sodium intake for hypertensive folks. > What if you drink a couple quarts of water shortly after? Would not ameliorate the increased blood pressure effect. > Won't the sodium be gone as soon as the water is? No. A hypertensive person tends to be "sodium avid." > Thanks Laus Deo -) Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be healthier: http://TheWellnessFoundation.com/BeHealthy Prayerfully in the infinite power and might of the Holy Spirit, Andrew <>< -- Andrew B.

What?? Normal people get thirsty after a salty meal, for example. I'm referring to all the common effects of a salty meal. How long do the effects last? Thanks.

There would be no clinically meaningful effect for normal people. > Normal people get thirsty after a salty meal, for example. Feeling thirsty is an indication of need for water and does compel folks to drink. > I'm > referring to all the common effects of a salty meal. How long do the > effects last? If you are referring to thirst, most folks drink more water during the meal so that after they have eaten (and consumed water) they are no longer thirsty. > Thanks. Again...
