This sounds reasonable.

And pretty much how it works. Some stay at the 16% reduction but almost
all who worry on sodium and took to this method for it, will use a bit
less.

I'm not concerned with my salt intake. My doctor has never said a word to me about it. Should I get another doctor?

Lol, me too and I love the looks I get when I sprinkle salt over my
food I have occasionally slurped a spoonful of salt when I get
that yucky feeling of blood pressure being too low.

I sometimes use an emergency packet of crisps/chips.

I get cravings for salt. As a child I'd pour some in my hand and eat
it. When I got older I asked a doctor about it. He told me it was
because my body was craving sodium. My blood pressure isn't
"ridiculously low" but it is generally a bit on the low side.

While I was at university I had a summer job in an alloy plant and there
were salt pill dispensers scattered around the plant. It was bloody hot
around the furnaces and molten metal. Even in the middle of summer we
had to wear long johns, heavy pants and shirts and a wool jacket. The
jackets ended up with white salt stains on them from the sweat. Popping
a salt pill with just a little water provided a great boost. I learned
to recognize when I needed salt. I sometimes find myself eyeing a salt
shaker and then to the tequila shot thing, licking the back of my hand,
sprinkling a bit of salt on it and then licking it off.

Salt pills are common in hot and humid climates. Everyone sweats and in
such climates one loses sodium and water quickly.

That's a curiously refreshing thing to say.

Yes indeed. When we were living overseas in hot climates the military
always issued us with salt tablets.

Naw ;-) There is a malpractice issue where at this time if the Doc
doesnt tell you to reduce sodium if you have raised blood pressure,
they can get zapped. Fact is a significant portion of us don't react
to sodium with higher BP and reduction of sodium doesnt change if for
these folks.
