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. I don't want to have hypokalemia or hyperkalemia.What will i do?Pls. advice me soon.

How are we not meeting your needs?The instructions on how to get off are on the site someplace or someone will tell you how. I don't recall.If too many emails you can get a daily or weekly digest or go to the site to read them all when you want. You can also search all by topic etc back over our 10 years.CE Grim MDOn Apr 26, 2012, at 10:48 AM, anke pfitzer wrote: Thank youCC: lowerbp2@...To: hyperaldosteronism From: lowerbp2@...Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:13:15 -0500Subject: Re: Re: Post adrenolectomy meds [1 Attachment]There is a beautiful older book called Perspiration by Kuno. I have some discussion of sweating and survival in my papers on survival during slavery. I can't recall if my slavery papers are in our files?I am a bit of a sweat expert as well. Studied it in Dr. Conn's lab to see if sweat Na/K could be used to Dx PA. Good for advanced cases but have to go in sweat box. Aldo also affects stool Na and K and pH that

has been used for Dx but not very clean in separating. On Apr 23, 2012, at 12:37 PM, lyndarumph wrote: 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? > > >
