Salt intake-atypical/PS CFers

My sweat test was only a 36, considered near borderline. Wondering if I need to increase my salt intake and if so by how much. I typically eat healthy so I'm not getting a ton of salt from processed foods. How can you tell if your sodium levels are too low? I have a tendency towards low blood pressure-is that common for CFers? If I feel really cruddy I eat canned soup and perk right back up. Can CF related salt deficiency make your blood pressure tank/make you dizzy and lethargic? I eat well and drink a ton of water so I'm not dehydrated.

With DS, when they do his yearly blood tests -- vitamin levels, cultures, liver... they also check his sodium levels. His initial sweat test was 32; however, he does tend to crave salt and we're generous with adding it to his food.
