Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 If anyone can help clarify something for me that would be fantastic. I'm in the process of my 4th 24 hour urine. During the last two months I have had high serum aldosterone and high urine aldosterone. Low K+,Mg, CA. The most bothersome symptom right now for me (besides the uncontrolled BP) are attacks similiar to those for pheocrytocomia. During some of my testing my catacholemines were elevated, but my nephro said not elevated enough to worry about. Can hyperaldo cause these same sort of symptom s: pallor,headache, anxiety, sky high BP? These attacks are debilitating and scary. My nephro told me if this last testing is positive for aldo she will change my meds...possibly try aldactone. Anyone here have symptoms similar? I do not want to be prescribed a benzo for anxiety attacks. Also, CT was negative but echo showed significant LVH. Cybil -36 y.o. female with no real diagnosis of anything but HTN at this time.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hi Cybal; I understand what you are going through, and many on this board can relate. Yes, you can have all those symptoms with PA. I was tested twice for pheo, but it turned out to be PA. The very best thing you can do to help control your symptoms and your blood pressure is to start eating DASH diet (get the book by T. on low salt/ high potassium). I am amazed at how eating this way has taken away so many symptoms, especially jittery/ adrenaline rush feelings I was having. Of course everyone is different, but I turned around quite quickly with the DASH diet. Please include all drugs you are on under your signature. Also, make sure your 24h testing follows Dr. Grim's protocol. Those tests are not cheap and you don't want to have to do a 5th one if you don't need to. > > If anyone can help clarify something for me that would be fantastic.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Those things are pretty classic for PA as we can all vouch for. There's of course some variance given we're all individuals, but the things you describe are some of the most common to all of us. There are some good studies and research on aldosterone and anxiety, but from my personal experience and many others on here, if there is no co-exisiting condition, then the issue causing the bulk of it is the low potassium that kick starts these symptoms, and if a low K likely a low magnesium too. Docs and others discount the potassium but it is an electrolyte invilved in every single aspect of your body. They will brush aside a "borderline" potassium and often it may be very low and not borderline because they do not test it right alot of the time (look back in our files and there is one telling you how to get it done right). But many of us on here can surely tell you a borderline is not so borderline and we feel the symptoms - anxiety was a big one for me and it got better when my potassium was fixed, and then got even better after I started taking magnesium. And the chance of a pheo is almost zero (literally). They tend to fixate on a pheo, I am not sure why they fixate to such a degree, but it does have to be ruled out, but I would bet you do not have a pheo as they ARE that rare From: Cybil <cybil.baker@...>Subject: I'm confused....hyperaldosteronism Date: Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 5:06 PM If anyone can help clarify something for me that would be fantastic.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm not really sure what my nephrologist knows to be honest. And I dont mean to be crass. Last time I saw her my BP was 151/116. I was on 25 hydrolazine and 25 hctz. I asked her about the dash diet and she told me I shouldn't do anything that drastic!!! As I have stated before I'm so confused! If at 36 I already have significant LVH shouldn't she be more concerned about controlling my BP? I am 5'11 and weigh 217.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I presume you mean you were on hydrAlazine and if that is the case it is one of the meds they use to control BP while testing ARR. If I read the table correctly (Aldosterone Causes of Hypertension in files) I expect your ARR will go up so I too will be interested in the results! I had LVH bad enough that I needed f/t oxygen. When I started Spironlactone (25mg bid) my BP resolved immediately and it took 10 months for all SXs of PA to resolve. 12 weeks after all SXs resolved I no longer needed oxygen, right on schedule according to Dr. Grim! > >> > >>> > >>> If anyone can help clarify something for me that would be > >>> fantastic.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 That's a little scary about the nephrologist. BTW they "tried" me on hctz a few times and I knew it wouldn't work but someone would lecture me or my wife would about me "doctoring myself" and being sick and desperate I would say okay I'll try it again, but everytime I ended u in the hospital with low potassium. Thats not what got me to the hospital - the low K - but the headaches, the fatigue, the cramps, the fog, etc, and of course the severe HTN. htcz can really make low potassium a lot worse >>>>>>>> If anyone can help clarify something for me that would be >>> fantastic.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 DASH does magic to my BP if I stick to it. Once in a while my BP is so good that I almost forget and I go and eat out and I can tell you that every time I do that my BP skyrocket! Low K, Mg Ca are part of PA gifts! And I also DO have those " pheo like " attacks and I believe those are consequces of electrolyte imbalance (but I might be wrong too!). I am not saying that you don't have a pheo (I am not a doctor) but low K does strange things to your body (BTW, low Mg, Ca does too). BTW my echo last year said mild LVH but my last echo no LVH noted! So try to DASH (<1.5g Na) and magically LVH will disappear! PS.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Thank you so much to everyone for your advice/support. It is really helping me cope with this journey I am on! I will report back my " non medicated " results as soon as I get them. Also in response to ...it is hydralazine thank you!! But she only had me on this because I had an anaphylaxis reaction while on an ACE and BB. I don't think it had anything to do with the testing..not sure. It has no real effect on my BP however. I am on 25 tid and in fact sometimes after I take it my BP goes up!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 About the BP going up after taking BP meds: When I was first diagnosed with high BP at age 44 (69 now), my doctor prescribed a mild diuretic - I think hydralazine, but it was a long time ago. The first thing that happened was that my BP went up. I look back and think "how dumb were you?" because at that time I thought to myself "Oh, good thing I'm on this BP med, because think how high it would be without it".Now, of course, I realize that was the beginning of my PA, but as my BP rose and they gave me more and more meds to control it, none of them ever really worked. In fact I always felt that my body was fighting against them, but the doctor knew best, right? Wrong! Listen to your body.Thank God for this group and Dr. Grim. You have all saved my life and given me the ability to understand what is, and was, happening to me and how to genuinely treat it.Dianne F-69, bi-lateral adenomas, CKD, 50mg Spiro, 25 mg Atenolol. > > >DASH does magic to my BP if I stick to it. >Once in a while my BP is so good that I almost forget and I go and eat out and I can tell you that every time I do that my BP skyrocket! > >Low K, Mg Ca are part of PA gifts!
