WELCOME stryker.cathy <stryker.cathy@...> wants to join hyperaldosteronism

[Guest guest]

Welcome

1. Read my article in our files on the evolution of PA

(Evolution_of_PA-Grim.pdf ) and take to all members of health care

team. Tell us what stage you believe you are in.

2. Read our Conn's stories files and then give us your own in as much

detail as you can.

To see others' stories, on the Hyperaldosteronism home page, go to

Files/Conns Stories.

You'll find instructions in " A - How to put your story here.doc "

3. Get the DASH diet book by T. et al, read it and use it. $8

in paperback at your local bookstore.

or

go to http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/hbp/dash/new_dash.pdf

download this 64 page booklet free and do the Week on the DASH Diet

for 2 weeks. If you are on BP meds be prepared for a large fall in BP

and let your Dr. know you are doing this.

4. Measure your BP daily so you can see if it is getting better. If

you are taking meds be sure to tell your health care team you are

doing this as your BP may plummet to normal quickly.

5. Go to familyhistory.hhs.gov and do your detailed family medical

history so we can review with you to help Dx familial causes of high

blood pressure and heart disease. If BP runs in your family you may

save others in your family by checking their BP yourself.

6. Go to our file

/Conn's Articles of Note/Medications/Bravo spir 1973.pdf

and read this article and take to your health care team.

7. If you have been Dxed with PA already and are on Rx or have had

surgery please go

to http://www.kwiksurveys.com/online-survey.php?

surveyID=HIJIO_f2685379

and complete our survey with as much information as you know. If

there is some information you don'k know ask us and we will help. If

you need to update this as you journey thru the diagnostic/treatment

process you can add another entry but label it as Nameyymmdd. For

example today 6/12/09 for me would be Grim090612. This ever

increasing number will allow us and you to sort your multiple entries

into a dated order.

8. If you are new to medical lingo then download the acroyms from

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/bloodpressureline/message/29186

9. Go to NIH and see if you are interested and qualify for their free

testing in Bethdesda , MD.
