primary hyperaldosteronism
"This truly is a miracle drug! About a year an a half ago I experienced suddenly high blood pressure that was on average 150-170/90-110, which in a healthy, then 19 year old female was strange. I tried Amlodipine, Metoprolol, Clonidine, Verapamil, and Lisinopril for blood pressure and none of them did a thing to my blood pressure.When I was on the maximum dosage of a med that is known to raise potassium levels, and mine were still low, they suspected Primary Hyperaldosteronism. They prescribed 50 mg of Spironolactone to aid in diagnosis, told me it could take up to three weeks to lower my blood pressure, but on the third day of taking it my blood pressure was down to an amazing 100/64. It now runs 90s/60s on average. Great medication!"
