Guest guest Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 They do not have the action of Aldo correct. It should say in the presence of excess salt in the diet aldosterone increases the synthesis of ENaC channels on the luminal side of the distal renal tubular cells. These channels enable Na to diffuse into the cell. To maintain electrical neutrality in the urine as Na+ moves into the cell K+ and H+ move into the urine resulting in K loss from the body. When this exceeds intake hypokalemia results. As H+ is lost inthe urine the body H+ goes down. Aka causing alkalosis. Both low K and H result in changes in nerve and muscle irritability increases. Numbness and tingling and muscle cramps ensue.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Nerve and muscle irritability (or another way to put it is kinetic activity) sounds very much like anxiety like SX. At least for me my feeling is to have a true anxiety attack you also have to feel it in your mind. I have the kinetic activity but don't feel sx in my mind. > > > This looks like good information on what happnes when our PH changes. > > > > http://fitsweb.uchc.edu/student/selectives/TimurGraham/GI_Hydrogen_Loss_and_Redu\ ction_in_ECV.html > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I would think anxiety in the setting of PA though is more physical based, but leading to the mental and emotional point of dysfunction. The body senses something somewhere and the brain/body systems like the sympathetic start reacting, likely before we know it in the form of the aches/spasms/twitches etc, but it manifests as an anxiousness - and people sense anxiety different from person to person, plus our bodies react differently too. If it's brain first, then thats possibly a psych disorder (though even that can be pretty objective too) but really it's all related. I say it again and again that PA, and the low K (among other electrolytes), has long fingers and doesn't skip too many body systems.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I never hyperventilate. If anything, I breath too shallow most of the time. I am anxious and edgy most of the time, often with a sense of dread that I cant quite put my finger on. Just about anything annoys me more than it should. I use to be a very relaxed and layed back person...always getting comments about that and handling enourmous amounts of stress without a flinch. Not anymore. I explode almost irrationally at times, and am more pissed off at the world than I have ever been in my life. If that is from PA (although I am not really convinced it is), why isnt Inspra/dashing, and all the suppliments fixing it? I am within arms length of simply quitting my job most days. I darn near feel like i qualify for disability, and that is not like me to even think that way. Most days I just want to escape the world and hide it the northwoods someplace. It is maddening. I have built a great career and have a sweet family. This damn disease is robbing me of alot and I wish i could fix it before it does permanent damage to my everyday life.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I have posted about this before. In the mental health field there are studies that link hyperaldosteronism to mental health disorders. Even though your B/P may be under control Aldo still may not be blockd enough in the brain.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 If you have adrenal hyperplasia as a cause of PA then you are surely going to be spewing out too much of all adrenal hormones as well as aldo, ones that affect mood like adrenaline, noradrenaline etc so while dashing might be enough to bring your bp down you could maybe do with other treatments options as well...even if your catecholamines is 'normal' on a 24hr urine test - might still be elevated enough to affect your mood.. > > >>>> > > >>>> > This looks like good information on what happnes when our PH changes. > > >>>> > > > >>>> > http://fitsweb.uchc.edu/student/selectives/TimurGraham/GI_Hydrogen_Loss_and_Redu\ ction_in_ECV.html > > >>>> > > > >>>> > > > >>>> > > >>> > > >>> > > >>> > > >>> > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 So, just becuase me BP is "normal range" doesnt mean Aldo isnt having an impact in other ways? I feel much more viril on Inspra, but also way more irritable. I have been able to focus on my work much better than when I was taking Spiro, but it is almost like I am experincing a bit of "roid rage".

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 On a more serious note, I think I have documented my case of BP under control and other SX still out of control, in my case pain and peeing resolving 10 mos later. I still have an exhaustion or lack of stamina and will be discussing with PCP in a couple weeks. You are also under corporate stress from the sound of things. I went through much of that in 1997. I was one of the lucky ones who opted out when offered so I missed the India invasion but they went through that too a couple years later. Traded those stresors for driving a 45' tour bus through the likes of Boston, New York and Montreal, never killed anybody but sure scared a few! (Of course the last 6 years the biggest stresor has been to decide when to let the puppies out, rainy days are best because they don't beg to go out!) Keep working on that NA and you might find Inspra " has a second gear " like I did with Spiro! Good Luck! - 65 yo morb. ob. male - 12mm X 13mm rt. a.adnoma with previous rt. flank & testicle pain.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 It is always at the cellular level. All disease is at cellular level-well except for bad luck. Microscopically hyperplasia looks like many small tumors through out both glands. Big tumors come from smaller tumors. In my experience if one looks carefully at the adrenal tissue in those with one large tumor you will see smaller tumors in the rest of the gland. Most pathologist ignore these as they are blNeed by the usually bright golden color or the biggest tumor. One can google adrenal hyperplasia and view images.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yes. I had it tested 1 mo after starting it, it was 3.8(3.5-5.1 range). It was a bad draw, so i am not sure it was a good reading. I decided to experiment by adding back in 25mg of spiro this week and see how I feel.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Re Hyperventilation. Can be either breathing too fast (but shallow) or too deep. Or both. So count how many times a minute you breath. Maybe each time you take your BP so we find out what is normal for you.CE Grim MD I never hyperventilate. If anything, I breath too shallow most of the time. I am anxious and edgy most of the time, often with a sense of dread that I cant quite put my finger on. Just about anything annoys me more than it should. I use to be a very relaxed and layed back person...always getting comments about that and handling enourmous amounts of stress without a flinch. Not anymore. I explode almost irrationally at times, and am more pissed off at the world than I have ever been in my life. If that is from PA (although I am not really convinced it is), why isnt Inspra/dashing, and all the suppliments fixing it? I am within arms length of simply quitting my job most days. I darn near feel like i qualify for disability, and that is not like me to even think that way. Most days I just want to escape the world and hide it the northwoods someplace. It is maddening. I have built a great career and have a sweet family. This damn disease is robbing me of alot and I wish i could fix it before it does permanent damage to my everyday life.
