I've been increasing the salt added to OJ, which is my primary salt intake. Last night I slept with my feet raised slightly and woke with normal (not swollen) feet or ankles. I had two glasses of OJ each with 1/2 tsp Morton's canning salt today one around 9AM and one around noon. total 1tsp salt so far today. Total liquid 1 qt OJ and 1.25 qt milk. It's now around 2:30PM, and my feet and ankles are noticeably swollen. Left is more swollen.
I'd to know what total amount of salt I should take per day. Would urea supplement help?
I'm not taking any medications and am reasonably fit 76 yo male. This is the first time my feet have been so swollen. six months ago I had a small amount of swelling which was not alarming.
