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.
It's not chlorides but fluorides which cause the problem get scaling polishing done by a dentist it will not help if discolouration is there for that get bleaching done.
Dear Labrate user, you are suffering from productive cough and taking cough syrup given by the chemist. Firstly if this cough is of short duration 3-4 day and not associated with fever and other symptom then it's ok. Otherwise you need thorough checkup.

U mean to see that you were given infusion of NS (normal saline). It's totally safe and you sud trust your treating doctor and if you don't then visit someone you trust.
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!
Please
Don't worry
Use filtered water only
Take plenty of water daily

Go for morning and evening walk daily for good digestion and easy defication and good circulation
Recheck electrolytes after 3 wks at another lab.

Mr. Lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
Tablet obimet contains metformin. Whereas vildagliptin is a different compound. These drugs are usaully combined together. But whether to to one or both depends on the glucose levels, hba1c%, I can not answer without all the necessary details. Thanks.

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.
