Chronic Hypernatremia Treatment?
I am a recovering bulimic who vomited heavily and frequently with a large amount of fluid expulsion. Add to that that the salt concentration in my binge foods was very high, and I find I have a case of mild chronic hypernatremia. The symptoms I have are moderate full body fluid retention, loss of elasticity doughy feel to my skin, lethargy, fatigue and irritability. If I have something to drink, I immediately feel sicker, the swelling and irritability greatly increase. I am urinating infrequently and in small quantities, but it is not dark or concentrated. I have read that you treat this imbalance through fluid restriction, but I have also read that I should be drinking electrolyte replacement fluids. My case is not severe, and I have no health insurance so I can't see a doctor what can I do at home? Do I restrict fluids? If I should drink, how much should I have in a day and in what sort of increments? Water or pedialyte? Should I eat or not? Detailed help gets 10 points... thanks
