Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi Kellie, every BP med I've ever taken (including spiro) has made me intolerant to heat (and really sweaty, too!). That's probably the only thing I'm going to miss about PA, once my treatment plan is decided. With untreated PA, I'm always running cold and I rarely, if ever, perspire. - msmith1928 45, female, 5'3 " , 120 lbs, 1cm left adrenal nodule, supine aldosterone 28.5/renin 0.2, potassium <2.9 (when not taking supplements); 25mg spiro caused gynecomastia; no HTN meds; current meds are 20MEQ K 3x/day, singulair 10mg, norethindrone .35mg, cyclobenzaprine 5-10mg when needed, fexofenadine 180mg when needed; low sodium, fructose- and grain-free diet > > > > > > > Ok my blood pressure as I have said only with dashing has been > > very low, so today I have not taken my 6.25mg of spiro, I should have > > taken it 7 hours ago and I did not, my next dose will be in 5 hours > > and I have no idea if I will take it. > > > > > > > > My BP today without medication has been around 110/70 +- 10. > > > > > > > > however it feels like I am giving up spiro cold turkey and I'm > > afraid that my BP will just go up and well... go up. > > > > > > > > I had a small fight today and my pressure " spiked " to 127/81 I > > don't know how long do the metabolites of spiro stay in the body so I > > have no idea if there's spiro still working inside of me. > > > > > > > > last dose I took was yesterday at 11:30 pm, it's 9pm right now and > > my bp is: 121/74 HR 77 > > > > > > > > and well in 2:30 hours it will be 1 full day without spiro, and I > > ate a bit " " " Salty " " " today because I was very very dizzy because of > > the low BP.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 That sounds so familiar as right before my first episode I froze all the time. Now I'm freezing my husband out of the house cause I'm trying to stay cool. :-) Kellie Sent from my Samsung Epicâ„¢ 4G msmith_1928 wrote: >Hi Kellie, every BP med I've ever taken (including spiro) has made me intolerant to heat (and really sweaty, too!). > >That's probably the only thing I'm going to miss about PA, once my treatment plan is decided.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Yep our A/C has been on for a month now. My parents can't believe it. At work I manage ok by wearing summer outfits but with all the doctor appointments let me tell you I sweat to death in there. I take a bottle of water so after they weight me I pretty much chug the whole thing to make it through!  AMEN to no heat and thank goodness for air conditioning ! When i had hyperthyroidism one of the hallmarks was feeling like your ALWAYS on fire. It is really like your in hell AND the mother in law is there too. >well I can't stand heat with or without spiro, that's about it > >THX ! > > >> >> > > >> >> > > > Ok my blood pressure as I have said only with dashing has been >> >> > very low, so today I have not taken my 6.25mg of spiro, I should have >> >> > taken it 7 hours ago and I did not, my next dose will be in 5 hours >> >> > and I have no idea if I will take it. >> >> > > > >> >> > > > My BP today without medication has been around 110/70 +- 10. >> >> > > > >> >> > > > however it feels like I am giving up spiro cold turkey and I'm >> >> > afraid that my BP will just go up and well... go up. >> >> > > > >> >> > > > I had a small fight today and my pressure "spiked" to 127/81 I >> >> > don't know how long do the metabolites of spiro stay in the body so I >> >> > have no idea if there's spiro still working inside of me. >> >> > > > >> >> > > > last dose I took was yesterday at 11:30 pm, it's 9pm right now and >> >> > my bp is: 121/74 HR 77 >> >> > > > >> >> > > > and well in 2:30 hours it will be 1 full day without spiro, and I >> >> > ate a bit """Salty""" today because I was very very dizzy because of >> >> > the low BP.
