Sodium public service announcement for people with high BP. Papa Johns.

I am sensitive to sodium when it comes to spikes in blood pressure. I understand that most people arent, but for those who are, be wary of Papa Johns "Works" pizza.

Recently on a business trip, I ordered a Large Works pizza while at a hotel. I ordered a large because it was on sale for $12.

I received the pizza and ate 5 of 8 pieces in about 20 mintues. Yes this is a little much but it didnt seem obscene to me.

About 15 mintues after I finished eating, I began feeling bad. My heart was racing and pulse was pounding. I felt like I needed to lay down. I knew this feeling. My blood pressure was spiking.

I lied down on the bed and googled the nutrition facts for Papa Johns Pizza. To my suprise, each piece of "Works" pizza had 960 MG of Sodium!!! Wow, I had consumed almost 5000 MG of Sudium in a few minutes!

It took a couple hours for my blood pressure to return to normal.

I understand that sodium doesnt effect most people this way, but there are plenty of people that it does.

Watch out, and check the nutrition before ordering.

Thanks
