If one is feeling good and doesn't go to Doctor much. Maybe doesn't know what BP is. Has a few days at at time that you are a bit tired but not enough to stop you from doing normal things. Then you even get a sunburn or some other kind of burn. Based on what I am reading burns can change your K. Then you loose K from sweat. You have the tumor but at this time you don't know it. So maybe tumor is making aldo. Before K changes your K was still high enough to keep you functioning at normal levels. Then k drops and maybe still in normal range just not high enough to overcome effects of aldo. When I first starting having SX I thought it was from possible antifreeze poisoning. I think at this time I can ruel this out alto can't be 100% sure. Since SX and the tumor seen to be related to PA this seen to be a more likey cause. Also from my postings you seem to think it is PA as well. What I am trying to find out is why SX came on so quickly. Did something trigger them? I would suspect if the tumor was making aldo it was doing so for some time as it is about 2 cm in size. > > > Since I have been doing a lot of reading about PA some things I have > > read tell about things that can trigger it.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 You have hypertensive heart disease (LVH).On Nov 22, 2009, at 9:22 AM, Francis Bill wrote:What I read about low K and EKG's is that non specific ST and T can be due to low K. Since it seem that improper blood draw for K can make test show higer K can ST and T be a better indication your K may be low.Problem with EKG's is you can have intermittent problems that don't show up if only a few are done. It also takes someone with some skill to read them. I know I don't have this skill. I also belive that today much of interpretation is done by computer. Computer doesn't always see small changes that skilled doctor see. I is the EKG that was done on me that seem to have showed more that just small problem. While a stress test was done after this that I was told didn't show any thing. The technician doing the test saw something was going on with me that was a concern to her. What she said to me was I didn't look very good after the stress test. This is the the report of the last EKG Normal sinus Leftward axisIncomplete right bundle branch block Left ventricular hypertrophyNonspecific ST and T wave abnormality. My K was 3.7. This EKG was done because of shortness of breath. <BR style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.22em"><BR style="LINE-HEIGHT:> 1.22em"></P></DIV></DIV></SPAN></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
