salt contain sodium chloride ,in which sodium is responsible for increasing blood pressure that is why common salt is avoided in hypertension.and there is no chance of sodium deficiency in body because our raw foods their self are rich source of sodium,like tomato,milk curd,potato,sweet potato,green veg etc.

I would suggest only one thing- don't read too much into the reports! The chloride levels are very dynamic and highly unstable. They are also affected hugely by lab reagents in monitoring and as such carry no significance in our day-to-day patient evaluation. Please relax!

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Older adults may be more susceptible to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances than younger adults. There are many reasons for this, including: the kidneys may lose some of their function with age. Older adults may take multiple medications, such as diuretics, that can change electrolyte levels. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Dear Lybrateuser, - Both have essentially the same constituent that is sodium chloride so will not be of much help - to reduce bp you have to reduce the per day quantity of whatever salt you are taking.
