Re: does this look like Conn's?

[Guest guest]

From my searches it looks like there is ongoing research for incidentaloma. Some

seen to say there could be a link between incidentaloma and mental health.

Other studies seen to show you have a higher risk of heart related problems.

What some seem to think is that incidentaloma make a small amount of hormones.

To small to show up as being adnormal but enough to cause changes it your

system.

Untit research shows other wise if you have mental health problems most likey

you will not have a CT scan.
