Sodium unhealthy?: You may be wrong. All of us need some salt in our diets. As long as you have healthy kidneys and are hydrating regularly you may not need to limit your salt at this point of your life.

Go see your doc: Low BP may be a result of other metabolic causes, like thyroid or adrenal insuff. You need a metabolic workup. Go see your doc.
