Player #326446, too much sodium? ABSOLUTELY!!! it is an essential part of any bloodwork drawn. next time you see an IV infusion (hospital patient's iv fluids), note it's contents. 0.9%-.45% sodium chloride with various other components is what you will most likely see. this is part of the electrolytes gatorade, etal advertise to replace those lost during sweating, etc. lol...can you tell I was an rn for 34 years? drink up, people!

My Nan had a goitre due to under active thyroids, she had to have an operation and would joke about it saying “ she had her throat cut open and lived to tell the tale “ god bless her
