Guest guest Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I have never seen a hemangioma of liver butMany cysts. Tiped sad Send form miiPhone ;-)May your pressure be low!CE Grim MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertension I was compiling my past test results for a new doctor I'm meeting with tomorrow (bringing an endo on board) and discovered something I had somehow overlooked. My CT scan results show a 33mm hepatic hemangioma in addition to the adrenal bump. This was not mentioned to me by my internist or my HTN specialist. A quick Google/Pubmed tells me that these are common, esp. in women, and usually asymptomatic. Mayo Clinic lists possible symptoms as: Pain in the upper right abdomen Feeling full after eating only a small amount of food Lack of appetite Nausea Vomiting And, hey, a lot of those are the digestive issues I've mentioned here before. Which, as we all know, can be caused by just about anything. I'll be asking all of my docs about this within the next week to confirm that the hemangioma is nothing to worry about. But I was wondering if anybody else here has one of these, and if so, if it's ever been problematic? - msmith1928 45, nulliparous female, 5’3â€Â, 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; known drug allergies include PCN, sulfa, tetracycline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 According to the imaging report, mine is a " 33mm right lobe liver hemangioma. " I'm a little baffled as to why this was never mentioned to me! Interesting side note - the doctor who did the report is a Dr Grimm Different spelling but it made me do a double take nonetheless! - msmith1928 45, nulliparous female, 5’3â€, 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; known drug allergies include PCN, sulfa, tetracycline > > > I was compiling my past test results for a new doctor I'm meeting with tomorrow (bringing an endo on board) and discovered something I had somehow overlooked. > > > > My CT scan results show a 33mm hepatic hemangioma in addition to the adrenal bump.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 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. > >>> > > > > > >>> > > > > I was compiling my past test results for a new doctor I'm meeting > >>> > > with > >>> > > > > tomorrow (bringing an endo on board) and discovered something > >>> I had > >>> > > > > somehow overlooked. > >>> > > > > > >>> > > > > My CT scan results show a 33mm hepatic hemangioma in addition > >>> to the > >>> > > > > adrenal bump.
