Conn's Syndrome: Causes and Symptoms Explained

### Understanding Conn's Syndrome: Key Points for Your Health Conn's syndrome, or primary hyperaldosteronism, is a condition that can significantly impact your health if left unmanaged. It is caused by the overproduction of aldosterone.

Conn’s syndrome, also known as primary hyperaldosteronism, is a condition characterized by the excessive production of aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. This overproduction leads to an imbalance of sodium, potassium, and water in the body, which can result in high blood pressure (hypertension) and other health issues. Here are the key details about Conn’s syndrome: What…

Gigabyte needs to buy a lottery ticket.

To date (as of 2022),  49 cases of feline PHA (Primary Hyperaldosteronism) have been reported, and it may be the most common adrenocortical disorder in this species.

I don't know if she's #50. Her vet said that there have only been 4 diagnosed in the past 6 years, but I'm guessing she meant in general. I initially thought she meant just GA.

hi guys just so you know i completely forgot to update my queue because i spent the entire day messing around in the sixth coil ✌️

The exact anniversary of it went past without me noticing, but this month marks five years since I last had to go to an ER or urgent care!!! :D

Still don't know what exactly is wrong with me health-wise, but I am doing so much better than I used to be it's a little ridiculous. I was in an urgent care or ER every summer for severe allergic reactions for years, and now I hit that late June/early July mark and don't even notice

Being prone to overthinking and not being able to stop fixating on a topic, connected to being able to nocebo yourself, is awfull

Like, what do you mean that because something happened/I had one symptom that could be connected with some health issue and I fixated on the cause of it hard enough I actually started to show other symptoms out of nowhere?

So I’ve got asthma and a regular inhaler and with trying to get over pneumonia breathing has been especially difficult lately but I was supposed to drive my grandma and I to a big park a while away from her so we could walk around and look at the foliage so while I was almost there I used my inhaler but I had only ever taken one puff and because it’s been especially difficult lately and I was going to walk around I decided to take two because the prescription said I could, then I get to my grandmas house a few minutes later and my legs start feeling weird as I’m walking into her house and then pretty suddenly my legs go numb and it’s like they’ve just disappeared it is so strange I wasn’t able to stand if I wasn’t propping myself up and we look it up because it’s kind of frightening and apparently sometimes albuterol can cause a reaction where it drastically lowers the potassium in your body and you have weird symptoms from that like loosing feeling in your arms and legs and you just have to get more potassium and ride it out so that’s what we did but I couldn’t drive till a few hours later and could barely walk most of the day and this is all to say that if you are using an albuterol inhaler and all of a sudden lose feeling in your legs it might be because you don’t have any potassium anymore

straight up feel like this rn

Had a Charley horse muscle cramp in my left thigh this morning. -10/10. Do not recommend ever. My whole leg is sad now and it feels weird to stand on it

I memory wipe myself like in disco elysium but instead of a three day bender that gave me total amnesia it was a multivitamin gummy

I keep forgetting to ask, but do y'all have any recommendations for B12 supplements that are like liquigels (or whatever those are called) instead of tablets? I'm allergic to at least one of the inactive ingredients in the B12 supplements I've tried, but I have never yet had a reaction to inactive ingredients of liquigels (capsules? what are those called?) At this point, I am not looking for any particular dosage of B12; my doctor just wants me to try it to see if it helps with severe muscle cramps. Once I see if it works, she's going to do more bloodwork and determine which dosage I should be taking (I have had other bloodwork to rule out other possible causes, and at this moment B12 is the only thing I'm testing low on)

also make sure to replenish your electrolytes! they're very important for hydration!

Genuine friendly summer reminder for my fellow fat people.

We have more body than skinny people so we also contain more water and therefore need to drink more. 2 Litres is something skinny people need to drink we need more. I aim for 4 litres a day.

While any waterbased liquid is good try to not drink all 4 litres in coke or soda. I absolutley do recommend sport drinks or similar things. Fat people like us, or at least me, sweat a lot in this heat even without sport. Refill those electrolytes. Your body will thank you.

My go to drink at home is a 2 litre jug of water with just enough store bought raspberry or orange syrup that it has a taste thats not water.

Please stay hydrated in this heat and take care of your body. Its the only one you have.

(If you clown on fat people in tags/replies/comments I will hunt you for sport)

are you FUCKING kidding me

Hope y'all have a great Friday the 13th!
