Concern for one with hypertension

I believe the answer is:

sodium

(Other definitions for sodium that I've seen before include "Alkali-metal element, Na" , "Chemical element (Na)" , "It occurs in sea water" , "Soft metallic element" , "Chemical in salt" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
