Hyperaldosteronism help

0 Recommendations

Hi,

I was diagnosed with an adrenal tumor/hyperaldosteronism back in May. I have learned a lot since then but still have many questions. One thing I know is that many drs, including endocrinologists, do not know as much about this condition as you'd think. I would like to know if others who suffer from this have had any emotional side-effects like I have. I have become depressed waiting to find out the results of my tests, only to find out I need more tests, the fatigue has affected my work and personal life, and my diet has had a major overhaul which I'm still catching up to. I've also been really defensive as my chemical balance has been thrown off from continued dropped potassium levels. Anyone else feel the effects of the fight/flight gland wars?
