I thought you may also be interested in this March 2022 article:
"In a first-of-its-kind study published last fall, Stern and his team used a novel technique to uncover how salt intake affects blood flow deep in the brain. Ninety percent of Americans over the age of two consume too much sodium, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Your body responds to a high-salt diet with a number of compensatory changes, many of which are poorly understood. These include changes in the brain, which, as Stern has found, may be linked to high blood pressure and even neurocognitive issues."

Have you had a chance to discuss your reduction of symptoms from reduced intake of salt with your doctor? Just wondering if they had some thoughts...
