before testing that I was taking, also that I should have fasted and taken the

aldosterone test in the morning and possibly lying down. So I get a call from

him on Saturday saying that I do not have an endocrine problem, get off of the

lisinopril because it is probably the reason for my dizziness (I have had it

without the lisinopril), & take a week's worth of Xanex to see how I feel. No

new suggestion or prescription for my blood pressure problem, no answer to my

hirsutism problem, ignored the fact that a chiropractor told me that I have

calcification on my thyroid, & suggested that my numerous symptoms are my

nerves. I told him that even when I occasionally take clonazapam, I still have

the high blood pressure & symtoms. His answer was that it was the wrong

medicine. I really thought that since I went to a large university hospital in

a very large city that things would be different. Any suggestions? Would I get

this kind of treatment from Mayo Clinic in Minnesota? Or am I just overreacting?

Give us the numbers on the renin and aldo tests as many Endos do not know how to interpret them. Still need your detailed "story" to better help you. Look in our files for Conn's stories for some examples.Clarence E. Grim, BS, MS, MD
