Need help with proper hydration?

[marssel]

Just took a bunch of BP readings this morning. I walked up 5 flights of stairs and took a reading right away:
BP 148/87 HR 75

I then sat for 2 mins and took 8 more readings just to be sure:

134/84 HR 70
131/83 HR 72
130/82 HR 75
128/82 HR 68
132/80 HR 70
131/87 HR 72
134/80 HR 69
137/81 HR 80

This is also 30 mins after drinking Cellucor C4 so probably a bit elevated from that but wouldn’t guess much.

Either way it comes out 134/83 avg which includes the 148/87 reading.

IIRC you’re supposed to sit for 5 mins anyway so I don’t know that would even be a true reading.

I guess based on this I highly doubt BP plays any role in the symptoms.

No your BP is better than mine and my doc just gave me a thumbs up on my last labs and check up. I am outta shape with a new baby which is part of it, we’ll my waking is 130/70 but my HR is 78 now 4 years ago before fertility and new baby it was like 110/65 with 68 HR but I was 240 lbs I’m a bit more rn good and bad. All of that useless info aside wouldn’t you need to eat salt and msg and then run this test to figure that out.

Do you take a bunch of electrolyte powdered and stuff?

In the past I’ve never needed any of that and would have zero issue with 1.5 - 2 GAL without any extra electrolytes powders.

no.
i take mg, zinc and nac basically ed.
i just drink lots of water.

It was called LMNT https://drinklmnt.com/pages/ingredients

But to be clear haven’t taken that in a few weeks. I improved then I had hot and sour soup (16 ounces) 2 days in a row and on the second day immediately got dizzy that was Saturday night. Sunday was OK. Monday was horrible. Today was better. Drank 100 oz of water today.

With salt intake high water intake increases?

Maybe at 2 liters a day and drinking 2-3 packs of Element for another 16ounces per packet wasn’t enough?

this shit fucked me up badly, all that sodium they shouldnt be allowed to sell this shit, i have a container in my pantry wont ever use it, might send it back for a refund something like 1000mlg of sodium im like wtf...it truly jacked me up badly took me a few days to level back out

The NAC as an electrolyte or for other?

Oh are you serious? I loved the flavor of the spicy lime one with the jalepeno but yeah it made me super woozy / dizzy etc.

Still don’t feel the same… I stopped taking it.

How’s you end up leveling everything out? Just water?

Chew or dip, as a Marine I went through cans of Cope a day, like one can is 3 dips for me. Never swallow but I got where I could drink with a dip in and get basically no juice swallowed, you do that. I still fucking love dip but after cutting all stims for 5 year I can barely enduldge in a pouch here and there, a full dip makes me feel like I’m having a HA
