How does salt affect the Blood pressure?

I'm not sure if I understood what my teacher taught us...

1. The food we eat contains salt

2. too much salt gives the kidney a hard time and sends the salt in the bloodstream...
( I know the kidney regulates excess salt by urinating )

3. Salt in the blood stream attracts water ... follow up question: water from where?

4. too much water in the bloodstream pushes the blood vessels and causing high blood pressure

a step by step answer on how salt affects the blood pressure would be nice... :D

How long does it take to recover from chronic vitamin a toxicity?

I've read that it takes 200-300 days for the body to remove the excess accumulation of vitamin a in the liver, bloodstream, and fat cells. Is this true? My main symptoms include skin dryness/buildup, minimal hair loss, fatigue, and back pain. I've been off any and all vitamins for 180 days now.

(I took around 15,000 iu's of retinol for 1 1/2 years)
