Nasal Congestion due to PA (retitled from Subject: RE: Virginia's AVS)

[Guest guest]

I will try this too! I never realized nasal congestion might be related to PA. Nasal congestion is what made me visit the doctor in the first place, which lead to discovery of HTN, etc, etc. The HTN become the more pressing issue and we put the Nasal congestion issue on the back burner. But mine also, is much worse at night. Fascinating stuff. Have I mentioned I love this group! 39 y/o female2 cm adenoma on left adrenalMy AVS results just came back and confirmed the left gland is hormone producingBP currently high 140s over 80s (Was in 180's/90's when I went in for Nasal Congestion)On

Thanks!!! I am going to try that. I'll let you know if it works or at least helps.

I learned that nasal inflammation occurs due to too much salt as well as it makes my nasal fluid as hard as concrete that no amount of hot water can below it out J and consequently it was impossible for me to sleep at night until I discovered this…prior to my discovery, my doc prescribed Vaseline rubbing into my nose and also a stupid medical spray that caused headaches and after a while both did not do any good…until I found out salt/K ratio has been high and now with a glass of 25mEq K-citrate my nasal fluid comes back to normal fluidity and inflammation gradually disappears and I can sleep normally J of course all my

findings are from you Dr. Grim in discussions of this Group and I am very much grateful to you for all your efforts and comment.
