: Re: Once Again, the Blood Pressure Question-CHRIS

[Guest guest]

Jen pretty much covered thinks, but add you should get aldosterone and

renin tested (blood test) and get opinions before trying florinef

which is more dangerous than cortef and prednisone. The aldosterone

blood test range is among the least flawed out there in my opinion.

Also the sodium and potassium ranges I suspect are flawed as I've

seen many in the middle of range with aldosterone and renin bottomed

out. An ACTH stim will double aldosterone levels in healthy people.

Salt always has to be taken with florinef for it to work. Some docs

think florinef is salt, not true.
