Blood pressure will rise within eight hours then plateau and come down to baseline with just one time sodium loading. Besides low salt diet, exercise +/- weight loss also reduce blood pressure about 5%.

High BP does not result from or change much from a one day indiscretion. You will be fine. But pl dont make that a habit.
