Re: Re: Pls. answer my question about Hyperaldosteronism

[Guest guest]

low potassium would be the best bet. Are you on the DASH diet or taking potassium?

Saw the website on BP s and sweat. Very good. I do most of those anyway. I actually had lost 37lbs last year and was at the gym everyday exercising and eating only fish and vegetables and that was before the adrenolectomy and BP was in the 180s/110. BP was really good after adrenolectomy 4 weeks ago.

Metoprolol didn't work anyway. But because BP is better 120s/80s diastolic runs a little high but it use to be 180s/110. Was taking 360 cardizem 320 divan 40 lisinopril 325 aspirin,minoxidil and HCL 12.5. All once a day plus 50 of toprol. No of them

got pressure down.. How can they tell if toprol is working or adrenal gland doing it?> >>

Almost certainly the K.Can you get it checked.I would also get spot urine Na and K and creatinine checked if possible Can you get low sodium V-8 down there. 1 cup a day gives you nearly 1000 mg K.Suspect you need more spironolactone and K and less salt in diet.CE Grim MDOn Apr 26, 2012, at 12:50 PM, Bingham wrote: low potassium would be the best bet.

It is like after my review in the review center 8:am till 5p.m. or sometimes till 6pm of class. When i get home my both arms are having a hard time to lift it. Is it bec. lack of Potassium in my body? it is like my arms are lazy or lack of strength.i still take spironolactone (aldactone) the brandname, with a dosage of 25mg 1 tablet morning and in the evening 1 tablet 25mg. aside from that i still take 1/2 tab. of 5mg ivabradine(Coralan) and at night 1/2tab of 5mg ivabradine (coralan).I hope i will be fine.
