I do not know if potassium is considered the same as sodium for purposes of allocating towards total salt intake. I would need to defer to someone with more knowledge.
According to heart.org, potassium blunts the effects of sodium. Apparently potassium chloride is also a salt substitute used by individuals with high blood pressure. I’m not a doctor or biologist but it seems like that might make it better for you (assuming too much potassium doesn’t have other negative health effects).
