it's also sodium and potassium balance, as well. which - despite being year 1 med school stuff, most GPs almost never mention. i only found out about it from independent reading and switching to a GP who is a nephrologist.

aside from BP, there are tons of knock-on effects like digestion & cognitive function. you add medications that pull in one direction or another and it becomes a very complex system to manage well. and unless a doc is a specialist they almost never validate.
