Low sodium help urgent!!!!

[ShootinStarxx]

Hi. Hope someone can help me. For the past 12 yrs I have been on a no/salt diet consuming about 250 mg of salt per day(by choice) and up until now my labs have been ok. This week I went in for blood work, and beforehand, had drank 3 liters of water in a matter of an hour. When the result came back my doctor said my sodium was at a very dangerous level, and that if I didnt start eating salt I would have to have an iv. Immediately, I came home and began planning out my meals with salt. I am now consuming 5-6 times more salt than i was before and have been for 5 days. I have noticed that I am urinating alot of frequently(every 2 hours-lemonade color), and having two bowel movements a day as well. Plus I am drinking a lot less water,about 4-6 oz/h. My Questions are 1. Will the labs improve a little if i am now consuming salt? 2. how soon after consuming salt does it show up on labs? 3. does all the salt i eat get flushed into the bathroom?

Well, you flushed the salt out of your system when you drank all that water! Why on earth would you drink that much in an hour? And before going to the doctor? Did you tell him you did that?

Because I am a vegan much of the food i do eat is not refined or processed. Therefore, it dooesnt have much salt. In addition, I do not use added salt; because I do not like the taste it leaves in my mouth. All i'm tasting is salt... not the flavor of the food itself.

but i wasnt talking about the old salt i had.. i meant has the salt ive been eating, since that visit, staying in my system despite my frequent bathroom trips.
