Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully your question and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a metabolic disorder and a
hormonal imbalance. High levels of
aldosterone may be related to primary
hyperaldosteronism or Conn's syndrome. This is a disorder characterized by an overproduction of aldosterone from the
adrenal glands, leading to
high blood pressure and other cardiac and kidney complications. While low blood potassium is classically described this is only present in about a quarter of people.
I recommend consulting with the
endocrinologist and perform further blood lab tests and abdominal MRI to determine the diagnosis.
Regarding MS, it is a diagnosis based mainly in an abnormal physical examination for neurological signs and an abnormal brain or spine MRI, where specific lesions are reveled. Sometimes it may mimic this clinical scenario, but suspicions are raised only in case of an abnormal physical examination.
I would like to know if you have ever performed a brain or spine MRI? It is the most important examination in the diagnosis of MS, but it is usually performed only if neurological signs are encountered during physical examination.
So I recommend consulting with the
neurologist for a careful physical examination, to exclude this disorder.
Hope to have been of help!
Best regards,
Dr. Iliri
