HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Taking at least one of your blood pressure medication at night is a good idea so that the readings are controlled during the night.
Night time or early morning increases in blood pressure are one of the main causes for heart attack.
In addition to watching sodium, increasing potassium, calcium and magnesium may also help to lower blood pressure readings according to the DASH diet (dietary approaches to stop hypertension)
The other details of the DASH diet would be available online.
I hope this helps
