VAL: Re: high pulse, low temps, low bp

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Val. Is it strange, though, to have lower potassium (3.8) along with

the low blood pressure and high pulse yet low temps too? I am at the end of week

6 on 70mcg T3.

From what I've read about aldosterone, lower potassium is more often seen with

high aldosterone. I'm trying to figure out if these are hyper symptoms or

aldosterone issues. Still cold, though!

My temps are usually hovering around 97.5. My pulse remains 92 - 96 BPM and

last night was 104 - 108. I tried the salt water test, waiting an hour, and it

didn't adjust this.

I remember my doc saying my pupils didn't dilate properly (this was 6-7 months

ago prior to T3 treatment, etc.) which again seemed to indicate low aldosterone.

You'd said my 4x cortisol levels were ok when I'd first posted upon joining the

group. What do you think is going on?
