I have extemely high blood pressure, which is controlled by Lisinopril. I take one 10ng a day. In general ACEs do not work alone in primary aldosteronism. Please send your renin and aldo tests and the normals in that lab. Read my article on the evolution of PA and take to your Dr. Well I have something where my potassium is dangerously low, and this is what causes the high blood pressure. Low K does not cause high blood pressure. It is a indicator that there may be a mineralocorticoid problem like aldo. I have been to a specialist whom did nothing for me. I am confused and I don't know what to do. Send us his test results. I informed my medical doctor that I do not want to take medication to control my blood pressure for the rest of my life, if there is something else causing the high blood pressure that can be fixed. So lets get to the cause of the problem. I also informed my mom of this condition and she informed me that she also has low Potassium, and high blood pressure, and her doctor is controlling her blood pressure with medication also, I informed her please tell your doctor you have Hyperaldosteronism hypertension, so he can look into it, and find the cause of it. PA does run in familes. Get as much info as you can on your Mom's tests and take her Dr. my article. Why do they think she is losing K? My doctor is very concerned and she has informed me if she has to send me to 12 specialist she will do that to get to the root of the problem. This was a very reputable specialist, but he did not have any answers, because all my blood work was fine, except my postassium was low. Your advise is greatly appreciated, and thank you for your consideration. Where are you? I may know someone in the area who can help. May your pressure be low! C.E.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Sounds like time for an aldosterone-renin test - blood and 24-hour urine. The sooner the better, I'd imagine. Unless you already have these - give Dr Grim your numbers. Have you done the aldactone (spironolactone) 1-2 week test? It may lower your BP markedly, and even bring K levels back.
