Hypoaldosteronism???

[Guest guest]

Is there such a thing as hypoaldosteronism and if so what are the

symptoms for it as compared to Hyper? I ask because I did see a new

doctor and he is referring me to someone else and so the long drawn out

process begins. I read about the symptoms for " hyper " and I have all

of them sometimes but the peeing at night isn't really alot. (just once

in a while) The pressure that I get in my upper right abdomen is quite

severe in the morning and I am all puffy especially in the face. I

seem to have tender lymph nodes more than what is mentioned by some

here so I am curious. My episodes still exist but seem to have

subsided with no neurontin in my system anymore. I just went off it on

my own. I am also no longer taking premarin by pill (changed to a

cream) so these things have helped I think. I have always been quite

conscious of what salt could do to me so I have always been careful

with it. I was told by a doctor when I was young (13 or 14) and had

high blood pressure that my hormones worked backwards (this was in the

early 60's) - Thoughts anyone?
