HBP runs in my family. So does AFib. I have both.
I take one medication that controls both.
After a hospital stay, I asked my doctor if I should go on a sodium restricted diet.
He said "Why?"
My BP is 135/75 BTW.
I buy salt to stockpile every time I go to the store, even though most of the family thinks that I don’t put enough salt in foods.
However, I’ll make sure I always have enough to use in case someone gets ridiculous. I also stock up on sugar every time it goes on sale.
Salt, Pepper, and Sugar last forever and our food would not be nearly as tasty if we had none.
