Usually only have 2-3g of salt a day but had chinese takeaway with about 11g of salt. will this one occasion have impact on blood pressure?

This salt bomb can increase BP acutely in some. Take your BP and see. Actually icy have high BP your Na intake should be not more than 1,500 mg per day and your potassium intake more than 4,700 mg a day. Goto uptodate.com and read about my DASH. Use the app Cronometer to track both by entering every thing you eat.
