My cardio thinks that I may have adrenal insuff. and is planning to test for it. I have reactions to so many drugs that new tests always make me apprehensive. Are there risks involved? I know that they take a baseline bloodtest which needs be done before I get out of bed in the am. The PA said that they give me ACTH??? then test a couple of more times. Is that all there is too it? He suspects that my potassium problem (I don't absorb and hold potassium properly) may be a part of it as well as some "spells" I've been having (I get very weak, vision darkens, my bp drops like a rock and I get nauseous). I guess I have a multitude of other symptoms as well that go all the way back around 35 years or so. Anyone else have similar problems?
