Re: Re: hepatic hemangioma?

[Guest guest]

Well I will admit while being on vacation until Wednesday last week

I may have eaten more salt than I normally do on a daily basis so I

may have done it to myself.  Guess I learned my lesson the hard way

if that is what it is caused from.   I will be curious to see what

the NA is along with K..........if those are normal then it is

hormones since I just passed my stress test with flying colors.

 

Be sure you did not have a  big salt meal the day before.

What does the progestin pill do exactly?

Does it balance out hormones?

Unfortunately after I sent the positive

message to regarding Spiro and

weening off bystolic I had my first

episode of rapid heart rate and high, high

blood pressure similar to when my

potassium drops.  I ironically had my

blood drawn yesterday so hopefully I am

able to get he K results today.  

HTN hit 188/103 with a pulse of 115.  Of

course this happens when I should

technically be having my cycle which is

consistent with what was happening before

the ablasion. Both my family doctor and

endo told me the ablasion would help with

the bleeding but not the hormones. So if

this continues to happen at that time I

may have to go back and consider the pill

again or perhaps what you are doing with

the progestin.  

My Endo does not think it is K since that

has been stable for over 6 months and also

feels this is hormonal related. Ugghhh

does it ever end?  I may start taking

bystolic a few days before the 28 day

cycle begins for a few days to try and

head it off. I have a  friend at work that

is doing the same thing. 

 

I've got a lot of mixed feelings

about the pill - I took it nonstop

from age 14 through age 36 (when I

first presented with HTN) or so due to

polymenorrhea, chronic anemia, and

severe menstrual pain. It did wonders

in that it allowed me to live a normal

life for all of those years, but I

can't help but wonder at what cost.

Only time will tell.

And as can be seen in my sig, I still

take progestin-only pills, for the

same reasons. They don't do nearly as

good of a job as the

estrogen/progestin pills, but it's

better than nothing.

Due to the heat and working out side in the flower beds along with a

long hike I did drink a ton of water during those days!

Good information to know though.

Blood NA most likely is going to be within normal range.

If you blood NA gets on the high side it makes you drink

more until NA gets back to normal. This causes your blood

volume to increase. Increase in blood volume increases

resistance to blood flow and B/P goes up.

Didn't realize that could happen but I was lethargic yesterday and remember

thinking I bet my blood pressure is really low at work.
