May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertension Forget to reply to the tingling. None in face but sometimes in hands and legs go to sleep more often that what I think is normal. Sometimes I know that sitting certain ways hand having legs go to sleep is normal But sometimes sitting normal for short time and they will go to sleep. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Francis, 143/80 is better than any reading I get at the VA.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Dr Grim said some time ago that based on what I posted he thought I had PA. Believe this was sometimes in 2009. This is the text from recent posting. Do not think I was surprised by what Dr Grim said as he had hinted to cut off of PAR ratio before Has posted things like If cutoff is 20 and your ratio is 19.5 you still have PA. Of course if you understand what he says the Evolution of PA all that have PA will start out with a low PRA ratio. You have told me this before that you think I have PA based on Information I have posted. This is the first time you have given your thoughts on the A/R ratio Something I was trying to get an answer in past posting on this. You have hinted to this before. If only could get main line medical system to accept this. Many would be spared needless suffering. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > Are you getting a real doctor this time or another resident? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > I was at the VA today and found out the new Neprologist was > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > as I > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > > > hoped, Dr. Luiz Kolankiewicz.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I also need to add I went to a third small medical center for same thing. So if problem is low K have three medical centers that don't do not know this is SX of low K. they just look at blood test and not think there is a problem with blood draw. After all k of 3.8 is normal. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Francis, 143/80 is better than any reading I get at the VA. Did they take 3 and average 2 after sitting etc, etc?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 No unless one has GRA U at birth one starts with a normal PA AND PRA. Then as tumor or hyperplasia slowly grows renin first becomes low but also is normal for that person.
