Really? I thought since my renin was just barely in the normal range it was a toss up. He will probably order the saline suppression then.To: hyperaldosteronism From: georgewbill@...Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2012 22:22:17 +0000Subject: Re: New Blood Work numbers

I am guessing its a slow process my nifedipine does minimum or its finally wearing off. Bystolic makes me feel like a slug. I am altering them every 12 hours. My BP bounces from extremes. Currently (an hour ago it was 165/105). This morning after the systolic it was 98/58. This doesn't work for me.....I am anxious to discuss getting off these meds and trying Spiro asap if all testing is done. Otherwise I would prefer to be taken off meds for any other tests done.I am definitely at the beginning of this PA journey.This group is a god send.

I apologize. I meant to Thumbnail. I lose track when I reply with my phone application. Can I blame brain fog?My second blood work did not include same day Na and K.

I think we should include in the welcome a description/example of a good thumbnail, and request to include on all correspondence. It would be most beneficial to make this one of the first things listed on the welcome, IMHO. This issue comes up frequently, and "newbies" to the group probably don't know what we're talking about (I didn't).
