My dr put me on thermotabs and my wrist on both arms are a bit swollen and i have pain is that normal with sodium pills cause i don't eat enough salt?

Salt tabs: Yes, salt intake can cause tissue swelling like you describe. Particularly with fludrocortisone, which promotes sodium retention. Please let your doc know -- your recumbant BP can go up.
