Just read an article where testosterone and salt are linked to high blood pressure which in turn is the cause of most migraines other then tension headaches? Any thoughts?

I've had migraine's most of my life starting around 10-12. I have noticed that some foods can trigger it but that's different for most people. I'm on test the majority of the year and don't notice any increase at all.
I typically have slightly elevated bp on test so I adjust diet a little more and reduce salt intake as instructed by my doc but now she's telling me that salt intake may not effect bp as much as previously thought based on some new research. Anyway while on if I can't control my bp she will put me on a water pill which essential makes you urinate frequently and flush sodium from your system. I really don't like this approach.
Prior to this I was on a beta blocker atenelol but bp was good and is good off cycle. But the doc had me taking this daily as for migraine's and scripted tryptans and pain meds. Well I don't take pain meds anymore and the tryptans put me out for hours but I guess it's better than migraines. The only time I will use the pain med is if it happens around the time I have to work because I can't function using the other.
The atenelol seemed to help but was a low dose. As I get older I seem to have them less frequently and caffiene seems to play a role and so does alcohol but I rarely drink.
SitySlicker thanks for the info I'll add the b2 and see how that works.
