Can a meal high in sodium cause a blood pressure spike.?

I've been noticing that after eating something very high in sodium and a large quanity of it, my heart beats pretty hard, not fast, just hard. Out of curiousity last night I put this to the test and took in a large amount of sodium and my blood pressure peaked at 152/87 about 30 mins after ingestion. Since then my blood pressure has returned to around 123/69 which is normal for me in the evening. Has anyone noticed a spike in BP after taking in a large amount of sodium?
