Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 All, I recently joined you guys here. I'm uncertain if I am part of the group as I am in the testing phase and think maybe i could have secondary hyperaldosterone.I thought I'd share some of my medical hx and see what you think. Bp 160/112 hr 105 , cardiologist won't treat the blood pressure as nothing worked and says it is an endocrine problem. My endocrine doctor did not know what to do with me regarding bp and sent me to a kidney dr. He is starting me on spiro after he can see my baseline na k+ aldosterone. I've been hospitalized for low k+. I had a ct of my kidneys three years ago and there was nothing abnormal. I do have a 5mm posterior pituitary tumor and looks like another one starting next to it. It is right where the pituitary connects to the hypothalamus. I take growth hormone shots every day and my thyroid stimulating hormone was .51 two weeks ago( low). I have been sick for quite awhile so I am very happy someone is going to try and treat my Bp issues. I hope to feel better! Yes, I have been learning about dash and when I'm done with my initial tests I will be Dashing too! Regards , Sent from my iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
