A member asked:
Heavy and tingling thighs after eating lots of salt. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Edema: Increased salt leads to increased fluid retention. Swelling and stretching of the skin gives the tingling/itching sensation. And of course the extra fluid causes the heaviness. Best to avoid the extra salt.
