Just thought I'd jump in here for my first post, but I know when this has happened to me it was a drop in my iron which I have to watch closely since I do not eat any red meat. Be sure to keep up on vitamins and nutrients and if you think this could be the issue there are many vitamins with extra iron. All that being said, I remember when I was pregnant and anemic she put me on massive iron along with a stool softener! Lovely, huh? Good luck!

Thanks for the advice everyone! I didn't know this had been discussed not too long ago, but I'll definitely look up that thread. I'm wearing lots of clothes today and have my blanket ready. I'm the director of an outdoor ed program, so it's absolutely normal for me to come in all dressed up in with my long johns and boots.

Things are much better today - I checked my blood pressure when I got home and it was really low. Had a pack of ramen noodles (I know these aren't healthy, but the doc recommended them for a quick sodium fix) and things were back to normal by the time I went to bed. I think that I'm just going to need to make sure to be more prudent with the blood pressure monitor, and I've stocked one of my drawers with some pretzels and saltines...

This is a wonky question, but does anyone know any healthy foods that are high in sodium? I HATE pickles, but I can't think of anything else off the top of my head...

any nut that is salted...yes nuts have fat...but they are good and healthy for you. I esp like the blue diamond wasabi flavored almonds...they are spicy and salty goodness.

My quick fix is usually some peanutbutter on a piece of bread. Also when my blood pressure is getting low at night i will drink pedialite (sp?) cheese can be salty. saltines are always a good choice.

Soup! Warm and healthy, but also high in sodium.
