It's probably too late in your situation -- high blood pressure
apparently changes things irreversibly -- but when I retired I also
watched my sodium intake and used the BP machines at the local
pharmacy and grocery store (I think both had them) to check it.

I got it down pretty well. So well, in face, that I started seeing an
uncertain visual field when I got up. Adding a little more sodium to
my plan raised my BP closer to normal (it was rather below) and solved
that problem.

But I was, I suspect, fortunate -- I got on it while it still
responded to sodium intake. As I said above, high blood pressure
apparently makes this irrelevant.

Well, either that or the doctors have given up on it as nobody will
follow their low-sodium diet plan.

This what semantic mush looks like when it infests reality.
