Hi Everyone -I'm a new Conn's Patient and have a few questions

[Guest guest]

Hi There,

I am a 33 year old female who was diagnosed with an adrenal adenoma 5 years ago

that has now been determined to be an aldosteronoma that is producing lots of

aldosterone (e.g., Conn's Syndrome)! I am going to be seeing my endo soon to

discuss surgery etc. but she is running a few additional tests first (my

Cortisol levels are just above the reference range). Interestingly, I have

normal to low BP and normal potassium and electrolyte levels. I originally went

to the Dr. for severe fatigue and rapid weight gain (25 lbs in 6 months). My

hands and feet are swollen too (I've had to take my wedding rings off. I am

glad they were able to diagnose me but I am wondering if the fatigue, weight

gain, and swelling will resolve after surgery. Has anyone had similar symptoms?

Did they resolve after adrenalectomy? Please let me know - THANKS SO MUCH!
