Should I be concerned?

BUMP
Sugar Pie - I am sorry I cannot help, I once had high potassium levels due to impaired renal function and being prescribed wrong BP medication, and I was very ill for a period of time, but once the meds were stopped and I stuck to a low potassium diet everything returned to normal.

You should not be sitting there at home over a weekend with such worries, I would say call NHS direct, or your GP out of hours service or even go to A&E, elevated potassium levels can be life threatening, you have other issues so please do ask for advice and help from a medically qualified person

Sending you a big hug and hoping you are feeling better very soon x

Hi Sugar
Sorry I missed this, I was tested for Addisons , had really bad symptoms , I looked like David Dickinson who had been locked on a sunbed for a week..on full power! I had low sodium ,high potassium ,very low BP, was passing out when I stood up, lost A LOT of weight. I had the short Synachtin test, I was OK..but I do have low Cortisol serum levels . So my Adrenals were not good at this point but I had been on and off Steroids. I feel now they have recovered somewhat and don't have the problems like I did but now I do get low potassium from time to time now, due to training and sweating a lot, but this I can treat myself.

Sorry probably not much help, but just wanted to say, it sounds like they are covering all bases with your tests so hopefully things will be found and sorted out for you. I did not have headaches but I do know that kidney problems can give very severe headaches. I did have very severe Odema when I had the adrenal problems.

Please let us know how you go on and if they get to the bottom of this for you, and as WJ says if you feel worse don't hesitate to get into Hospital, electrolyte imbalances can be very dangerous.

Sending my best wishes

Hi Sugar, I do have Addissons Disease, I was diagnosed at the age of 29, after retuning from a weeks holiday in Cyprus where despite having kept a hat on, to cover my face it was extremely pigmented. I looked like one big dark freckle! Prior to this at the age of 22 I was diagnosed with Hypothyroid, & despite me continually telling the doctors that no I did not feel better on thyroxine, it took 7 years for them to refer me to an endogrinologist! As soon as I walked into his office he said "I think I know what's wrong with you" I had been feeling so tired, had been suffering with terrible headaches, dizzyness, vommitting & utterly felt awful. My Gp had kept telling me to exercise, I joined a gym...advice I think that could have killed me, after one visit I thought I was going to die, I do remember being treated like a hypocondriac and felt such utter relief to find that there was actually something wrong with me!! The endo put me straight on Hydrocortisone, then a few weeks later I had to go in to hospital for a couple of days for a short synatisn (can't remember name, after 13 years) test.
I have since gone on to dvelop other endocrine problems Type 1 Diabetes being one. I am almost 42 & feel 72.
If you do find you have Addisons, messgae me, I may be able to give you advise on what to do in a crisis.
Good luck.
