I am 69 years old and was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension 14 months ago. It's a progressive lung disease that eventually leads to death because of heart failure. My doctor told me that I must consume no more than 2000mg of sodium daily. I've been working at this for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to get it under control. The Facebook group "Shakin the Salt" has been my best source of information and encouragement. Please check it out.
