Guest guest Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Is it possible that a traumatic and stressful period could cause PA ? My young son had a serious head injury 2 years ago and it was a very worrying time.I have recently been diagnosed with left adrenal adenoma,low potassium, low renin and high aldersterone levels. My BP has been high since coming through the traumatic and stressful period 2 years ago and I have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder. Prior to this accident my BP was normal. Now awaiting AVS and sodium testing. I am puzzled as to why I have developed PA.Any thoughts welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hard to say and not good data. Did your intake jump up during this stress as you were eating at the Hosp or out more?It takes both a high salt diet and high Aldo to increase BP in PA. May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertensionOn Apr 6, 2012, at 13:47, suz4dub <suzannebray@...> wrote: Is it possible that a traumatic and stressful period could cause PA ?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Think that should be did your salt intake jump up. You need to think how were you felling during the past year. Ever have mornings where you just didn't feel like doing any thing? Then as the day went on did you feel like doing more? > > > Is it possible that a traumatic and stressful period could cause PA ?
