Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Albeit odd but practical. Even in hypertension one can have dill pickles but in a quantity just to improve the taste.
The are not to be taken only if the preservative if a common salt.
If it does not contain common salt, can be consumed by anyone whether hypertensive or not.
As also required is to have regular blood pressure measurements, good balanced diet and exercises.
