I consumed very little salt this week, mainly because I was very busy. I usually ended up grabbing an apple or something rather than cooking a big meal. I also decided that I suddenly hate potato chips (I was eating them like crazy before - I was dealing with intense salt cravings for a while).

I just realized that I had very little head pressure this week, and some days, it was completely gone. It returned today after lunch: Vietnamese spring rolls with lots of soy sauce.

Could just be a coincidence, but it seems like consuming excess sodium is one of the things that causes my head pressure. I believe some is also caused by neck and vision issues, but that pressure appears in different areas. I am diagnosed with Stage 2 hypertension, so that might also be why sodium seems to have such a big impact on me.

I'm going to start a low-sodium diet on Sunday after I go grocery shopping. I'll report back if it seems to help. Figured I'd share this in case it helps anybody else.
