I have never told a hypertension patient in my care to cut down on salt.
Instead, I suggest they avoid processed foods, refined carbs, energy, and fizzy drinks, limit stock cubes, sugary fruits/juices.
Start light cardio e.g brisk walking, Fast 18/6
Manage their stress.

They are all doing very well.

These organs and tissues need salts to function properly.

-Heart
-Brain
-Muscles
-Skin
