@swalex The plan I have implemented is increased salt intake unlimited.( no edem at this age/73) salt tablets and salt supplement. I use the salt tablets when I’m reaction going. Signs that happen most of the time is frequent urination. the scary part is with a sudden drop and no symptoms,I only increase salt intake with drinks, salt tablets and try not to go into a full blown panic attack. The high test salt level has been 137,currently 130. ( increasing salt)

@novakp52 Hi,
Having no edema at age 73 is a very positive sign, and you’re absolutely right to be concerned about this.

How are your sodium levels being monitored, and at what frequency—laboratory blood tests or home urine strips?

I ask because the symptoms you’re describing closely match my own experience, including cold sensitivity, related to Addison’s disease (diagnosed in 1979) and aldosterone deficiency.
