Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Might but will prob need a lot. What do you nean Spiro did not work what was dose and salt in ur urine?Tiped sad Send form miiPhone ;-)May your pressure be low!CE Grim MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertension Hi, I am getting an AVS on March 2. I have been assigned a new endo. I am on no meds. Spiro did not work. He wants to put me on doxazosin and get me in the hospital soon to do tests to try and get my bp down (180/115). While waiting to get in the hospital I will go on doxazosin. Will doxazosin work in lowering bp if I have PA or conns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I was on 100mg. Did not work, I did not get salt in urine tested while on spiro. My renin ratio test was 2200. > > > Hi, > > I am getting an AVS on March 2. I have been assigned a new endo. I am on no meds.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 And what dose of spiro did you take? 25 mg of spiro daily didn't work for me, while 50 mg of eplerenone works peachy.

Did you ever post your test results and What meds you were taking at the time of tests. Did they test you for Cushmans? Did they test you for Pheochromocytomas?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Alpha blockers are piss poor BP agents. CE GrimIn my case, for my adenoma lateralization test (NP59) I stopped Spiro and placed on alpha-blocker terazosin temporarily until end of test and I had to increase dose as needed...so I started with 1mg/d....2mg/d...and last dose was 4mg/d and then NP59 test was done ans again I started my Spiro.Max.61M L adenoma by NP59 scan.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Trust you were not DASHing?Any drug that lowers BP increases salt retention expect diurertics. CE Grim MDIn my case, alpha-blocker was only for maximum 6 weeks that I was off Spiro and although was not as effective as Spiro to lower bp but was keeping my bp around 130/80 but I had to go to 4mg/d...terazosin alpha-blocker I had used for a 3 month some years back but it increased my weight by some 15 lbs in that period...very scary drug.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 What you need to do in make sure you eat 4500mg of k a day and eat 1500mg or less of NA. How you do this is up to you. > > > > > > In my case, alpha-blocker was only for maximum 6 weeks that I was off Spiro > and although was not as effective as Spiro to lower bp but was keeping my bp > around 130/80 but I had to go to 4mg/d...terazosin alpha-blocker I had used > for a 3 month some years back but it increased my weight by some 15 lbs in > that period...very scary drug. > > Max. > > 61M L adenoma by NP59 scan.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yes, they did not work for me before. This is a new endo and they come in with guns blazing (or if he was a baker, buns glazing) and try everything I have already tried. I have not taken the Alpha blocker yet, I am doing a strict DASH diet until my avs on March 2. > > > > > In my case, for my adenoma lateralization test (NP59) I stopped > > Spiro and placed on alpha-blocker terazosin temporarily until end of > > test and I had to increase dose as needed...so I started with 1mg/ > > d....2mg/d...and last dose was 4mg/d and then NP59 test was done ans > > again I started my Spiro. > > > > Max. > > > > 61M L adenoma by NP59 scan.
