Yes, it can. Depending on the amount. Salt causes water retention, which increases blood pressure, which can cause a headache. Long term use of too much salt can cause health problems such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. That too, can cause more headaches. An old traditional method of suicide involved consuming a pound or so of salt. That'd possibly cause headaches for more people besides just yourself! Salt is needed in the diet, but a well-balanced diet already contains enough. Potassium chloride tastes like salt, and is among the modern commonly used salt substitutesfor table salt (sodium chloride) for those on a low sodium diet, but salt substitutes have their own sets of negative medical side effects.
