This summer I have been rushed to the ER by ambulance five times and have been admitted twice. I have recently been diagnosed with vasovagal syncope. Basically, I'm a lot more prone to faint than any other person because my vasovagal nerve doesn't function like it's supposed to. I also have low blood pressure, so I need to add more salt/sodium to my diet than normal. I've been drinking a LOT of Gatorade lately because it's high in sodium and has extra electrolytes. The thing is, I'm getting really sick of it. Does anybody have any food or drink suggestions that are high in salt or sodium and electrolytes but are also healthy (not chips and fries and stuff)?

Yea powerade isn't quite as good as gatorade....have you looked into sobe? some of them I believe would work well, but you'd have to look into it. Basically look around into any of those energy or sports drinks, other than that, there are few foods that have lots of sodium/electrolytes....unless of course you decide to walk around with a salt lick...
