Can too much sodium cause cramping?

I just got bloodwork last week. I don’t have hyperkalemia. I’ve been on telmi for 2 years.

Sir please. Our resident MD has made his diagnosis


Seriously tho. Try magnesium oil. It’s all over Amazon. I’d be very shocked if you applied to your arms prior to a workout and still experienced a cramp.

Ok interesting. That’s good to hear. I just was maybe over worried because it’s happened to me, and had similar side effect to what you’re describing. What were you potassium levels if you don’t mind me asking ?

Also, on a scale of 1-10, how much would you say you would have to pee shortly after trying to rapidly hydrate yourself, like chugging a bunch of water to catch up on hydration if you’ve ever missed water and fell behind for the day?

1 as in you feel like you can hardly hold on to water, you have to pee right after drinking any significant amount of additional water.

10 being you feel like a sponge.

Not at all, they were 4.5 nmol/L

I’ll be honest bro, I have no idea. I’ve never really assessed that before and likely couldn’t put a number on it for you

I’ll definitely grab some. Things have been smooth since I upped the salt intake but would for sure not hurt. You have any specific brand you like?

Uh, you told the guy to drop his blood pressure medication based on almost nonexistent evidence that it might be causing a problem……

It’s “hating” when I call attention to that?
