Re: Keeping Hydrated

 My allergies have worsened over the last week with the increased Juniper pollen in the air and my progress has all but left me. Last night my heart was racing while I lied in bed and I couldn't relax the palpitations. To make matters worse, I'm having an increasingly difficult time staying hydrated, urinating as much fluid as I take in--about 30 minutes to an hour after consuming the liquid. I've been adding some himalayanSea Salt to my water and salting my foods, as well as consuming chicken broth to attempt to get more electrolytes in, but I'm still having this issue. I was wondering if anyone had success or could recommend a good strategy for increasing hydration with adrenal fatigue. I'm aware that aldosterone levels in my body (in all liklihood) are low, so this is the chief concern for why this is happening and drinking plain water without any salt is the worst thing for me right now.

Your aldosterone levels likely have nothing to do with this.  When we are exposed to allergens the body counters the allergic reaction normally by the release of epinephrine, which is antihistamine and antileukotriene, and corticosteroids to counter inflammation and to modulate the immune response.  It is actually adrenal dysfunction that actually lead to the allergies.  The epinephrine though increases the heart rate while constricting the blood vessels.  This is why you would be experiencing the racing heart and palpitations.  The faster the heart rate though also the more blood that is pumped through and filtered by the kidneys, which leads to increased urination.  

Drinking purified waters such as reverse osmosis or distilled will make matters worse as these are more rapidly absorbed and eliminated by the body.   Water should always be saturated with minerals before drinking it to prevent this problem.
