| Has anyone who has had hyperparathyroidism also been told they have adrenal problems? I am having heart palpitations and blood pressure spikes after my surgery. My blood pressure trended normal-low (e.g. 110/68) before my surgery, which was 5 months ago. My two strangest bp readings post-surgery were 108/100 and 167/99. At the time of the 167/99 bp, my calcium was 9.1. My PTH was not checked at this time. My thyroid labs, both before and after my surgery, are always normal. My pulse also spikes. My sodium levels are slightly and consistently high or normal-high even though I do not eat much salt. I recently had an aldosterone-renin test and it suggests something might be going on with my adrenals. My ratio was high, but the aldosterone was not 2-3 times higher than the upper limits of the normal range. More tests will be done soon. I have been seeing literature claiming there is a link between PTH and aldosterone. I don't understand this well. Most report positive changes after parathyroidectomy. And I did not have these problems before. Maybe I just need more time to level out. (?) All thoughts and experiences are very welcome. |
