Just be careful, it often makes people sleepy. Or, like my wife, "loopy" (her word).
If your on meds, you try changing the time(s) you take it. Check you BP at different times during the day to see if time changes could help.
When I do something, I tend to over-do it. When I first started...
For sodium, look at nutrition labels. Anything with more sodium than calories is bad (2000 calorie diet, 2000mg sodium is the basic recommendation, 1500-1800mg is better). Lower is, of course, better. You can balance out "high" sodium in some things, as long as the calories aren't too high.

Been 4 years now, on 5 different BP meds.
Please have...
