- Dr. Grim HELP

[Guest guest]

Hello Dr. Grim, my name is Desire, and I have a condition which my

doctor calls hyperaldosteronism hypertension. I have extemely high

blood pressure, which is controlled by Lisinopril. I take one 10ng a

day. Well I have something where my potassium is dangerously low,

and this is what causes the high blood pressure. I have been to a

specialist whom did nothing for me. I am confused and I don't know

what to do. 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. 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.
