My experience-Question about salt
So this time last year I was seeing a cardiologist for high heart rate and dizziness. He told me I had orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure drops when standing, causing my heart to beat faster and which can cause dizziness). To help with the dizziness he said to increase my salt intake.
But now I’m dealing with migraines. I had my first migraine headache in September and I’ve had one once a month since, lasting 1-2 days.
The thing is my dizziness…I’m wondering if it’s vestibular migraine. I know I need to book an appointment with my doctor, but wondering who else has vestibular migraine and/or orthostatic hypotension.
I’ve read salt intake should be lowered for migraine, but if I have to increase it for OH, not sure what to do.
Again, I know I need to see a doc. Just curious and looking for tips before I can see one.
I have started keeping a journal of my dizzy spells and migraines.
