Sodium consumption is measured per day not per meal. Ideally a 2000 mg per day diet. Certainly no more than 4000 mg per day. Would have you on metoprolol instead of cozaar for the high blood pressure and tachycardia
You should have less than 2g per day.
With hypertension at age 26, I would attempt to limit sodium as much as possible.
