I have had Conn syndrome for a very long time, undiagnosed until 2 years ago.
It causes high bp, muscle aches, cramps ,twitches ,digestive issues,extreme tiredness and heart palpitations. It can be deadly if untreated and often goes undiagnosed for years, like mine.
I almost died after my Dr dismissed my low potassium as nothing concerning for me to attend the emergency room weeks later in a serious heart rhythm. I needed 2 bags of iv potassium to correct the disorder.I had to change Dr after that.!
