My suggestion is find a General Practicioner, talk to the doc. Let the doc figure out. Be honest, describe clearly. I hope you have a good one, this sounds very unique. The GP will probably do some tests and might refer you.

Cannot say, none of what you describe makes any sense to me with my limited medical knowledge which is limited to the level of Paramedic.

I would also monitor my blood pressure and pulse rate at the time of the blood pressure for the doctor between now and then. Time of day, maybe 3 different times of day.

Salt can cause you to retain water. Too much salt and you will pee it off and maybe make things worse. We are all lay docs here, I think you need a real doc to sort this out.
well those were "symptoms" i notice i still have, may not exactly be from the wreck, just stuff ive noticed. well ill have to find a good doc cause the ones here in this town are worthless, unless you have the "H1N1" like they told me last time i was sick....but anyways the only good docs in this state are in seattle and i know thats way out of the reach for me, so ill have to settle with someone in my area, but ill find out who has a good reputation and try. i checked the notes from the day after my wreck(only notes i have right now) and my BP was this over a course of 2.5 hours or so...126/80, 123/61, 112/57, 120/77, 133/69, 114/62. are these normal? i will dig up more recent docs that have my BP on them and compare them to these numbers
