Salt binge

On Tuesday night I had 4 slices of pizza (760 Mg salt each), Wednesday night another 3 slices of pizza (still 750 mg each); Thursday, Friday and Saturday had corned beef and cabbage ( 1760 mg each night) and by Sunday, had trouble breathing. Thought it was the flu, drank lots of water, rested in bed. By Tuesday, called physician and he called in Rx for Lasix and within 4 hours I could breath comfortably again. Watch salt even if you don’t have symptoms before!
