Guest guest Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Happy to report that this morning, my second day of spiro, my BP was 129/90. Not great but considering that it was running high 160s/100s yesterday, I think I can stop worrying that I was getting a paradoxical reaction of *increased* BP (which happened to me on Diovan, Cardizem, etc. etc.) The bad news is after cutting my K down from 60 MEQ/day to only 20 MEQ/day, my left trapezius muscle spasm is back in full force already. --msmith1928 Nulliparous female, 46, 5'3 " , 120 lbs, polymenorrhea, hyperinsulinemia, hereditary fructose intolerance, lactose intolerance, probable gluten intolerance. Current meds are spiro 12.5mg/dday, potassium 20MEQ/day, singulair 10mg, norethindrone .35mg to regulate polymenorrhea, cyclobenzaprine 5-10mg when needed, fexofenadine 180mg as needed. Low sodium, fructose- and grain-free diet. Known drug allergies include PCN, sulfa, tetracycline. 1cm left adrenal nodule, supine aldosterone 28.5/renin 0.2, potassium <2.9 (when not taking supplements), 25mg spiro caused gynecomastia and polymenorrhea.
