I am on spirnolactone for hyperaldosteronism. will i have to take for life?

Likely: If the diagnosis was made correctly, you will need to be on this medication to control the blood pressure and low potassium. There is another drug called Eplerenone that has less side effect than spironolactone. Talk to your doc about options.
