Real sea salts are wonderfully healthy as they contain an abundance of trace minerals that are sorely lacking in our food supply. You can get all kinds of wonderful colors like red, gray, black, or pink to brighten up your dish.

I prefer Himilayian Pink salt since it does contain additional minerals.
If you do not eat processed, packaged, or junk foods you can salt food to taste with sea salt. Humans need salt to survive, so salt is not bad. It is just over-uses in processed foods. Always look for the more natural form, such as sea salt. And if you have hypertension it may be more important to limit sugar and simple carbs and make sure your weight is within normal range. Also, be sure you have adequate water intake.
Being as you also have high blood pressure I would also say no to the salt. Instead of salt there are many other types of herbs and spices that you can use to season up your foods. For instance fresh or dried garlic,ginger, onions, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, sage, Garam masala, Chinese Five Spice. Aside from boosting flavor, many of these also possess antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that help contribute to heart health,
Sea salt as long as it is not whote.

it should be grayish with specks of pink, brown etc.
If you must use salt Himalayin or Celtiv are better options. It is always best to try and get your minerals from food and not supplements. The best way to find out what your body needs is to see a Naturopath for an evaluation to see what your body needs to balance itself. Good Luck...
You shouldn't be adding salt if you have high blood pressure. Get potassium naturally from green leafy vegetables,
