ACE inhibitors like lisinopril can elevate potassium levels. I had been
using Morton Lite but dropped it and use regular salt. I don't go crazy
with the salt grinder but I don't limit my use either.

The revolving door of science revolves:

Having seen many instances of reversals like this in my lifetime I also
take the experts with a grain or two of salt.

I question advice and look into it before following.

I had a problem with lisinopril causing a persistent cough which turns
out to be a common side effect.

Besides changing BP med the doc ordered a chest xray which showed a
spot. This led to an over 6 month dealing with a pulmonologist with a
couple of CT scans and breathing tests to find all was completely clear.

I think I am at the end of the curve for salt and avoid large amounts of it.
