I'm curious would something like powerade, gatorade assist? I'm always drinking that after running to hydrate replace electrolytes. Wonder if that would help out the blood pressure. I know if I don't drink it after a run I get a tremedous headache for the rest of the day. I feel for you. My father was always one to salt everything extra but as the years passed I actually never touch the salt shaker, some foods canned and jarred just seem to salty to me. My blood pressure has always been low but now I wonder if I'll have issues in the future with it . I do drink water frequently during the day though. Hope you get some answers here to help.
