pregnancy and PA (& salt cravings?)

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am 31 years old, and I was recently dx-ed with hyperaldosteronism. No mass

was found, but one of my adrenals was described as " enlarged. " I'm currently on

150mg of Spironolactone and amlodipine. My BP is well-controlled with that.

When my labs were done (pre-meds), my salt was within normal range, and my K was

low. My BP was in the 220/110 range daily.

Two questions: I'm recently married, and we are talking of trying for kids

soon. How is this condition treated for pregnant women?

2nd question: Since starting these meds, I crave salty things like crazy.

Pickles, olives... have even sipped olive juice. Is this normal? I thought it

would go away after a few weeks of adjustment to the Spiro, but it has stayed 2

months.

Thanks for your input!
