Post Adrenalectomy Medications

[Guest guest]

I've seen Dr. Grim post several times that BB's and CCB's are not the best BP

meds for PA. Does this apply to post adrenalectomy as well and is spironolactone

still an option? In looking through the files I was unable to locate the

appropriate file or study containing this info.

I'm returning to my cardiologist on Thursday and was looking for information to

share regarding the best medications for my condition keeping in mind that I

also have other heart issues. (CABG & LBBB) My systolic BP has been creeping up

steadily over the last three weeks and my dystolic has been creeping down. I

have also begun to retain fluid which may account for the BP changes. Lab test

2.5 weeks ago showed normal K (mid-range), low NA and low magnesium.
