New diagnosis and surgery

[Guest guest]

I've always had low PB so when it started to rise approximately 3 years ago I

was surprised.

I'm a 46 yo female in otherwise stellar condition, low BMI and no family history

of

hypertension. I was put on a thiazide drug which seemed to be lowering my

potassium. An

ACE inhibitor was added but potassium was still low. 2.5 years later I had my

aldosterone

tested and it came back high. It was actually tested in July of this year but my

MD. didn't

follow up on it. Had a CT last week which revealed 24mm adenoma on my right

adrenal. I

also have a kidney stone in the UVJ on my left side. I had passed a kidney stone

in April of

this year (is this the worst pain known to man - I think it is). Will be seeing

surgeon for

consultation in a few days. Not looking forward to surgery but would love to

feel better and

hopefully have BP stabilize.
