HELLO

DR GRIM

Yes i will read your evolution article and low k was picked up maybe 3-4 years

ago.They did ask me about licorice and i used to eat heaps of it but stopped

around 8 months ago .As for dash diet never heard of it and was not informed of

it by any DR so ill have to look that up too.I thank u for reply and advice

..Damn hard to get any advice here for some reason I've been through maybe 25

doctors over time who just discarded anything i said and thought i was a

hypochondriac or you have a stomach bug or its muscular or a thousand other lame

ideas including depressed of course I'm depressed no one would listen .When i

would walk through the doctors door i could see the look on there face (oh no

here he comes again and that is no exaggeration).

thanks once again .

kind regards

If you search our files on Conn's stories you will note that your story is not unusual but am surprised about it in Aust with the national health system and all there. Also many heads of Medicine when I was down there were leaders in the HTN area.Your BP is so low because the cause is finally being treated and now the other drugs are pushing your BP down perhaps too low.I would recommend you call you DR ASAP to discuss backing off some of the other drugs.CE Grim MDHELLODR GRIMYes i will read your evolution article and low k was picked up maybe 3-4 years ago.They did ask me about licorice and i used to eat heaps of it but stopped around 8 months ago .As for dash diet never heard of it and was not informed of it by any DR so ill have to look that up too.I thank u for reply and advice .Damn hard to get any advice here for some reason I've been through maybe 25 doctors over time who just discarded anything i said and thought i was a hypochondriac or you have a stomach bug or its muscular or a thousand other lame ideas including depressed of course I'm depressed no one would listen .When i would walk through the doctors door i could see the look on there face (oh no here he comes again and that is no exaggeration).thanks once again .kind regards > > > Hi Everyone> > My name is 47 years old from sydney australia and i have been > > diagosed with conns syndrome after 7 years of firstly high and hard > > to control blood pressure.I had conns tests intially when i got high > > blood pressure they did everything including blood tests, urine > > tests ,a renal dopler (checks veins near kidneys ,i was in hospital > > for 2 weeks but they didnt do any avs or ct scans and finally > > discounted thst i had conns !!!> > Now 7 years later and thousands of tablets later they finally > > decided to do a ct scan and found a 12mm tumor on my right adrenal > > gland (so i guess it was small when i first got high b/p) .Have been > > on spiracton for aprox 8 weeks now but still feeling like crap my bp > > has dropped from the usual 150-160/90-100 yes even on all the meds > > below to a very low 100/60 , i did have a colonoscopy 2 weeks ago > > and had to take the preperation to clear the bowel so probably lost > > a lot of fluid and electrolites my b/p went down to 88/58 when i had > > the colonoscopy but has risen a little since then although not > > much .I better tell you guys what meds i was on and now take well.> >> > Before 1 x atacand (candesartan cilexetil) 32mg once a day> > 1 x gopten (dolopril) 4mg once a day> > 1 x betaloc (metropol)100mg twice a day> > 1 x potassium chlor 600mg twice a day> > 1 x norvasc (amlodipine)10mg once a day> > 2 x zoloft (sertaline) 100mg once a day.> > 1 x slow-k potasium 600mg twice a day> > 2 x alprazolam 1mg at night> >> > Now 1 x atacand 32mg once a day> > 1 x gopten 4mg once a day> > 1 x betaloc twice a day> > 2 x zoloft once a day> > 1 x spircton 100mg twice a day.> > 2 x alprazolam 1mg ayt night> >> > Now the only trouble is i feel worse than before i am getting > > headaches ,really bad digestion and bowel movements(maybe a little > > from colonscopy) sterum pain, back pain, light headed at times, hot > > flushes and sweat like a fountain when i do most things even when i > > sit down on cold days too??> > Im am booked for a hand assisted laproscopic adrenaldectomy for 1 st > > april .I have a renal proffessor doing the surgery and my renal > > specialist assisting (although i dont have a lot of confidence in this> > guy but the professor is great ).> > Im getting a lot of conflictiiong opinions from my g.p / my renal > > specialist and my brother who is a an emergency doctor.You see my > > creatinine (kidneys 50-60% working ) has risen alarmingly and it was > > always normal even with high b/p and my pottasium has risen too high > > after being too low for 7 years but i have just stopped taking > > potassium as per renal specialist ,my brother suggested i shouldnt > > be taking anything except spiro as he thinks im dehydrated due to > > spiro and thats why all this stuff with my stomach is happening and > > also the effects of the colonoscopy and my g.p has just taken me off > > the norvasc all together to get the blood pressure back up again to > > near normal so out of 3 doctors 3 differing opinions lol.> > ive been to hell and back for the last 7 years as most of you have > > too the sleepness nights bad headaches ,dizziness sore bones and > > muscles bad stomach, foggy head, bad short term memory and > > concentration always tired sleepin a lot during the day .I > > eventually had to give up my job as i just couldnt do it anymore so > > ive been off work for 12 months and most of all depressed for last 6 > > or so years oh and libido what libido(lol).> >> > So any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated .I thank > > you guys for this group as conns should be made more aware of .i > > think a lot out there that dont know they have it .Im seeing > > anethitest on wednesday for chat before op so is there anything i > > should ask ????> > I wish you all the best of health .> > kind regards> > paul> >> >>

Doc the heaLTH SYSTEM NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE they are starting to reform now as

they havent been putting enough money into it .A lot of hospitals unsafe in need

of repair not enough doctors and nurses .The ones that do it are over worked and

under payed .For the so called best economy in the world atm seems thgey

negleted a few things we also having a very large aging population with also 50%

will be over 50 with 5-10 years so a big strain i guess.I will call my doctor

first thing tomorrow morning and see what he says .I thank you kindly once again

for all the info .

kind regards
