We have found that 473 mL (16 oz) of water can increase systolic blood pressure (SBP) by > 30 mm Hg in many OH patients (the gastropressor response). OH patients are routinely advised to increase their sodium intake to augment their blood volume. We tested the hypothesis that the ingestion of salt with water would increa...
