Hi, I'm just a year from having a triple bypass, I have not seen anyone medically for at least 10 months, so to my surprise I received a letter, to go and get my blood checked for salt levels, is this normal
Thanks

Yes it's to check for the the effect of medications over the last year
Yes, I have to have blood tests and a chat with my GP every year for a drug review. I have had two AVR ops and a splenectomy so on a cocktail of drugs. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks Guys
Salt level are usually checked when you are dehydrated and or feeling lightheaded, increasing salt will help these conditions a lot, they even sell salt tablets
I requested one about 3 months ago for cholesterol and saw the nurse and they did the whole check up blood test post triple bypass
