Can salt really make your blood pressure goes up?

Salt in moderation is good my dear friend

Only some people with high blood pressure are salt-sensitive.

By eating more than prescribed quantities of salt we are bound to accumulate more water in our body because of the sodium part in it , this is more applicable to the persons those who already have high blood pressure. Together with this the medicines prescribed for blood pressure like diuretics also don't work properly in presence of more salt! Thanks a lot @chavezrmc !

Salt makes the food taste better.. but we must avoid too much of it..

Yes, salt causes the blood pressure to go up, this is true.

yes and I believe generally, salt is not good for your health

I dontnbelieve salt has any health benefits so I would avoid it in my own opinion.

This is a good question. I do not know if that is true but I think that it is not true for me.

Perhaps. My father has hypertension and his doctor advised him to shun away from salty food.

Salt is poison for your blood pressure.

My uncle is like you. Loves salty food. His Bp shots up to 260 and he met with a brain stroke, leaving him slight facial paralysis. Now he is stable but on salt restricted diet and under medical management. My aunt bought a mercury Bp machine to check his Bp every day. Moral of the story ?

I hear it does.

the doctors always advice that we reduce the salt we eat when they find out that our blood pressure is a bit elevated so my guess is that it has something to do with it.
