Folks,

My little miracle is looking a bit frayed. Adrenalectomy was 12/11.

All was well, and was getting off all meds. Got down to Lisinopril

5mg and HCTZ 3mg with BP of 117/75. When I'd stop that small amount,

I'd bounce back up to 135/95. Endo suggested last Thursday that I

discontinue the meds entirely and not be concerned with my BP so much

for the next couple of weeks while my body resets.

However, the HTN bounceback continues and is getting worse with my BP

now at 140/105 and feeling that old fuzzy headedness.

Am I concerned over nothing at this point, or this labile BP not to be

expected?

Thanks,

Jeff

in many the bp will bounce around for a while. has k been recheched post op? still dash. the vessel hyoertrophy from the aldo bp takes a while to reverse. be sure to keep track

of bp daily.

I have a few articles I found which did state the adjustment can take

3-6 months post op.

Same as I have been saying for about 40 years.
