Fatigue and swollen ankles that made me think I might have kidney issues then the swollen ankles resolved. Then started my migraine headaches which I associated them to my Cochlear Implant but I saw my neurologist which helped my get control of the headaches. I thought my B/P was elevated because of my severe pain but the migraines resolved and the B/P continued. I called my PCP got on medication and kidney ultrasound showed slight damage because of my elevated B/P. I’m taking meds and cut out all canned vegetables and read labels to avoid high sodium products. My food selection at Thanksgiving will be more controlled than years past. I’m being very careful to not eat more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. No alcohol/ No caffeine/ No table salt I have a sister with ESRD that’s doing great but we’re all different. Stay well. 🙌🏽💆🏻‍♀️

I had a severe nose bleed that I couldn’t stop and had to go to the ER. When the triage nurse got my blood pressure it was 265/144. They immediately put me on a heart monitor and gave me an IV with meds to bring it down. I had a ct scan and an ultra sound with dye put into the IV and found the reason my blood pressure was so high because I have an artery in my kidney that’s 70% blocked which caused Chronic Kidney Disease and very high blood pressure. I now see a nephrologist every 6 months and have blood taken every other month. I take 5 blood pressure pills a day and take my bp twice a day. Im lucky for that nose bleed because I had no symptoms of anything wrong.

For me I’ve been having proteinuria ever since I started lifting weights, have a high protein diet. I was showing the exact symptoms you mentioned but turns out my kidneys were actually completely healthy. All the fatigue, dizziness, and swelling was from intense lifting and not eating sufficient calories which I figured myself later.

the US needs to have some better regulations on Salt in foods .

[@laurasoriano4394]

Eat fresh foods and prepare your own. Stay away from chemical additives. Salt is necessary for the body, but natural salt, not processed and mineral stripped sodium.

[@FrightF]

Sodium is an essenrial electrolyte. Salt is pretty much Sodium (and Chloride) You should not fear salting your food to taste (with a quality pink Himalayan salt or Seasalt). What you should fear is processed foods, sugar and vegetable/seed oils. Sugar ia not essential. Eat whole foods. Thats not everything but its a start.

[@NWforager]

​@@FrightF the amount of salt required is almost imperceptible to most peoples tastebuds in US . Not just humans require sodium but many plants too and we get sodium when we eat those veg /fruits naturally . Sugars are essential too but neither Salts or Sugars in their processed granular forms are required by the body
