I would say it is individual whether NaCl will increase blood pressure. I've had afib for 18 years and I specifically consume about 5.7 grams = 1.5 tsp sea salt (Celtic), about 3.5 g sodium, in 28 oz of water over the day (along with 2 tsp potassium citrate - 4 g potassium). I also consume additional salt in my food. My BP is generally around 110/60. I'm not suggesting others should do this. The easy way to test is to measure resting BP before and then try whatever you want to do and see if it impacts your BP. There are people who are salt sensitive with respect to BP & others who are not.

Do you have any tips? Ideally, I’d get a whopping dose in the morning but I haven’t been able to tolerate it. I have low blood volume (calculated by an interventional cardiologist), so I am trying to retain fluids (electrolytes help a lot).
