Hyperaldosteronism - Do they have it right?

[Guest guest]

I was investigating my new phone and happened on this site:

http://hyperaldosteronism.blogspot.com/ She was explaining how she was trying

to change the description of hyperaldosteronism at the National Adrenal Disease

Foundation and didn't feel completely successful! Check it out. (IMHO, we have

a long way to go if this what " the guy in charge " knows about it!) If you agree

you might want to contact him at:

Hyperaldosteronism Fact Sheet (pdf)

" This is a rare disease and is an unusual cause of hypertension. It is usually

considered by physicians if they find an unexpectedly low potassium in a person

being treated for hypertension. While most individuals have no specific

symptoms, some may have fatigue, headaches, muscle weakness and numbness. The

physical examination is normal except for the elevated blood pressure. "
