Blood pressure treatment necessary if i control salt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Salt not everything: A low salt diet will certainly help your long term blood pressure control. But there's unfortunately, lots of people despite aggressive salt restriction that still have elevated blood pressure requiring medication. Salt is part of the story when it comes to blood pressure, but definitely a lot more to it besides that. Good luck!
