Absolutely! The diagnosis is hyperaldosteronism...I take Spirolactodone(?) daily and what a difference! All my adult life, my potassium level has been below normal, always. At a meeting several years ago, I had to be taken by rescue to ED with my potassium level at 2! I tried for many years to get someone to address this problem, but no doctor seemed to take me seriously. Finally, I asked my neurologist at Mayo why this could be happening....she referred me to endocrinology. I asked and pressed and he tested, but even at Mayo I had to be very proactive. I was diagnosed, tested for allergy to med, put on med and for the first time in my adult life, my potassium level was up to 4 when I was in hospital a couple weeks ago. That was with my thyroid causing falls, black out, everything was out of whack....nails, hair, skin, anxiety level was sky high, tremors were back, balance, exhaustion....didn't realize how pervasive the thyroid is throughout all my body systems. I was over medicated. Now, amazing the improvements, in nails, hair, brain, anxiety, falls, bp, on and on. The Mayo hospital docs reduced the thyroid med, changed my diuretic putting it under my control!!!!!!!!!! depending on daily weight gain, which is often 5-8 pounds over night...fluid build-up. I now have better control of the edema w/o dehydration, bp is better, thyroid is perfect.....amazing, eh? Apparently, all my electrolytes were wonky when I went into the hospital. All perfect now. I feel like a different peerson, Teresa. In so many ways with all that's happened the last couple years w/Mayo. So blessed.
