Guest guest Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Male 35/obese/HTN/arr >80 on spiro 25mg BID ( 25am/25pm ) ok it has been a month since I started on spiro, and basically since I found out about my PA. here are today's labs: (nov 02 2010) PHOSPHORUS 4.44 (2.7 - 4.5) SODIUM 138.81 (135.37 - 145.00) POTASIUM 4.28 (3.5 - 5.5) CL 103.82 (96 - 106) MAGNESIUM 2.38 (1.9 - 2.5) CALCIUM 8.96 (8.5 - 10.5) LABS at 12 days of medication: October 12 2010 NA: 145.81 (normal 137-145 ) *** abnormal**** K: 4.9 (normal 3.5-5.1 ) Starting laboratory for NA and K: ( before spiro ) September 14 2010 NA: 140.84 (normal 137-145 ) K: 3.35 (normal 3.5-5.1 )*** abnormal**** First of all my BP right now is 120/80 or lower except when I get panic attacks that it goes to 140(150)/90(100) or so but, that's just when I'm anxious, so most of the day I'm around 120/80. Some I would say that my BP is controlled, I'm dashing as well, however the sodium still seems a bit steep ( this are all in blood ) I need to take another urine test to see how much sodium I'm sending out in urine. so far I feel much better, less dizzy, and overall well, ( compared to before ) the brainfog is there but it's less, I never had problems with sweating so that did not change, my anxiety still goes on, and that's the thing I wanted to stop the most but well. I hope that my anxiety will go down, anyhow at least when it comes to my BP it's great. now I guess that my question is how often do I have do do a follow up, ( rutine lab tests I guess , 3months for 6 months then twice a year ?) anyhow I still need to get the cat scan, and work on my anxiety because here they don't do avs, so I need to overcome my agoraphobia to go get the avs on another country. thank's everybody.
