meee... well what do you know i finally found someone else that has postural tachycardia!!! I have posted a lot on here about this and the topic of high salt diet and extra salt, but no one seemed to really know much about this. I have had postural tachycardia for quite some time. I have tried salt for many months, varying amounts, but have not had success with it. I have found that the only thing to help is to stay extremely hydrated. I drink between 1 -2 liters of gatorade a day both for the fluid and the salt (the sugar sucks though). I have recently been in and out of the hospital with other issues (like not eating) and in the process my cardiologist and I have decided its the hydration that controls my tachycardia not the salt. Although he thinks i might need a little salt to help retain the fluid. As for the nighttime tachycardia, I dont have that, I only get it as soon as my feet hit the floor. I would think they could be related however have you had a sleep study?? Do you snore??? A lot of people get tachycardic at night due to lack of oxygen due to obstruction or apnea. Might be something worth looking into. Hope that helps ya.
