Hyperaldosteronism is characterized by excessive secretion of the hormone aldosterone by the adrenal glands. Symptoms include high blood pressure, low potassium, fatigue, muscle weakness, numbness, and headache. It is mainly caused due to a tumor in the adrenal glands. Medications can manage the symptoms, and the treatment involves surgical removal if there is a tumor.
Hi, Welcome back to icliniq.com. You are correct. While Hyperaldosteronism typically leads to hypertension with low potassium levels, your situation appears to be the opposite.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I just read your query and from what you have mentioned it appears that you do have primary hyperaldosteronism and it is a very high likelihood for it to be a possibility based on your results. You can try MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan for proper visualization of your abdomen. I hope this helps.
