I have recently had a blood test result with low sodium and low calcium results. My Dr. had me retake the test just to double check it. I have also recently tested with a high blood pressure 135/94 - Not significantly high, but I am usually spot on and this is the first time I have been high. I have not been able to find much on what this might mean. Anyone have experience with this?

This might be kidney related.
Low sodium levels are sometimes observed in vegetarian people who cut down too severely on salt. If you eat normally, the kidneys will regulate sodium levels properly. It might also have something to do with adrenal glands, which produce mineralocorticoids, hormones which regulate salt levels.
