It seems to be a general perception that high salt intake causes high blood pressure (hypertension). And, there are some people who are considered sodium sensitive. For them high blood pressure could be the result of too much dietary intake. However, there are also several other possible causes.

Similarly, low sodium level could be the result of several conditions, ranging from too much water intake (water intoxication) to serious diseases, in which the two conditions (high blood pressure and low sodium level) could exist simultaneously.

Low potassium levels can impact high blood pressure by disrupting the balance of electrolytes in the body, which can lead to increased sodium retention and higher blood pressure levels. Potassium helps regulate blood pressure by balancing the effects of sodium in the body. When potassium levels are low, this balance is disrupted, potentially contributing to the development or worsening of high blood pressure.
