Guest guest Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I just meant that the variables are not all the same as when I was taking Spiro. Maybe when i am sensing a bit of dizziness, my pressure is lower than I think. So is it good dashing leading to lower than I am use to BP, or a side effect from Inspra, blood sugar, anxiety, etc. I need to get better about checking my BP when I am having symptoms. ============================================================================45-Male-Caucasian, 5'9"- 242lbs, PA Diagnosed 2007 Suspected Hyperplasia-No tumors on CT - No AVS.Meds: 50mg Inspra, 40meq Potassium, 2400mg Calcium, 1000mg Magnesium, 100,000UI Vit D (weekly), 20mg OmeprazoleSide effects: Gynecomastia, stomach inflammation (from potassium citrate)Other Diags: GERD, Hiatal Hernia, Metabolic Syndrome - PreDiabetic, Secondary Hyperparathyroidism caused by Renal calcium leak, Bone Cyct in left Femoral Head and Pelvis.
