You have certainly been busy. Stenosis is certainly one of the first diagnosis they look for as a cause.

I to am on spironoactone, a drug used to lower aldosterone and drive up potassium. My main diagnosis so far is hyper aldosteronism, and a tumer in my adrenal gland. What I have learned is the adrenal glads are your epicenter for almost everything. Your entire endoctrine system deponds on them. When anything is on or near them they malfunction. Kinda like dropping a drop of water on an electric panel.

Has your doctor mentioned genetic testing for the right medication. IT OFFERS THE RIGHT DRUG, at tbe right dose at the right time. It is call pharmacogenetic testing or also PGx. Here is a great link http://mayoresearch.mayo.edu/center-for-individualized-medicine/drug-gene-testing.asp

I pray they find the right drug combination very soon. Please take comfort that you are not alone.

Hugs
Dawn
