I don't have high blood pressure, but the ex did. He was overweight and frequently lost his temper so that his face would turn purple.

The doctor put him on high blood pressure medication, and advised him not to eat salt in his diet. I bought salt back in those days that contained reduced sodium. He was also told not to drink soda or soft drinks, and was told to lose weight and exercise.

His hands and feet did swell up, but that was a separate disease...and eventually that went into remission.

You should have your blood tested and make sure you are getting enough creatine in your diet.
You can also drink tea or coffee, (without cream and sugar), and cranberry juice, as those will help you to process fluid. Do NOT drink alcohol.
