Aldosterone test in 24 hrs urine

[Guest guest]

When I pee more, and more often, like today in just 3 hours after awakening I have peed 1000 ml already - Is that from drinking less salt or having low potassium? How does it work? I def feel I pee more today than yesterday. Keep in mind, I peed maybe 1000 ml at my first "morning pee" when I woke up the first time. This urine is not to be collected. THEN I started collecting. And I peed three times in three hours, total at least 1000 ml (1 liter) urine thus far.So, the thing is. I am collecting urine for a 24 hour urine sample and I haven't had any sea salt today. I am not sure but I feel my pulse might be up a little. - Does this mean salt fasting for my aldosterone in urine 24 hrs sample is not possible to do safely? Worried about hyponatremia of course, and swelling of my brain if it suddenly gets no salt, when it's used to getting salt.

I have these fears after reading scientific articles about these subjects.Still trying to figure out why my face keeps swelling. It grew bigger when I went down 1/2 grain on my ERFA Thyroid dose. One question about that: Would my face grow from being more Hypo all the sudden (can it happen in just a few days?) OR would it be excess cortisol symptoms from suddenly having less T3 in me, thus leaving my HC dose "bigger" than it was, even if it's the same dose.
