Was tested for this via 24 hour urine collection, came back OK plus
nothing on my ct scans. No enlargement of adrenals seen but extremely high
levels of high aldosterone, virtually un recordable renin.Diagnosed with
Primary Hyperaldosteronism or Conns syndrome.I take 12.5 spironolactone,
very small dose, potassium is normal as has been for a few years.But I
still have all the other symptoms, palpitations,
dizziness,fatigue,tingling,panic attacks,constant thirst , digestive
problems etc. My endo thought I might have had the disease unknowingly for
a decade or more!
Then I was diagnosed by accident seeing a wise gastroenterologist who sent
me for the ARR test.
