How can i control my high blood pressure when i crave salt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diuretic: A diuretic will lower your blood pressure and help you excrete excess salt. You could also try a salt substitute. Always taste your food before you salt it, and then use the smallest amount you find satisfying.
