Does anyone else eat salt?

[70rule]

Sometimes I feel the urge to eat salt. Just small handfuls of it on its own. It seems to almost immediately calm my anxiety.

Does anyone else get this? Strangest thing is that I would never even put salt on my food till a couple of years ago.

Yea, I do this. I was told years ago that I crave it due to having naturally low blood pressure (used to faint all the time). I put a lot on my food too though

Me. I have a boiled egg and toast for breakfast every morning and have a little pile of salt for my egg... which I then have to top up as I eat the salt by itself. Always have. I prefer salty food to sweet too.

I have quite low blood pressure too.

I put far too much salt on everything and can also dip my finger in and eat it. I too have low blood pressure but have never heard of the two being connected.

Yes. I eat raw onion dipped in salt regularly as a snack! I have low blood pressure too.

This is very insightful! I have no idea if I have low blood pressure, but I do feel like I'm going to faint every now and then. Not often, but sometimes if I don't immediately sit down and have some water I feel like I'll faint. Wonder if it's connected.

I have low blood pressure and hate salt :)

I tend to douse everything with soy sauce or if avocado toast then sea salt and often wonder if this is due to my natural low blood pressure!
