A member asked:

Please explain hyperaldosteronism to me and how rare is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hyper-aldosteronism: Your gland may be producing too much aldosterone which leads to a variety of symptoms that need evaluation and management. It is not common but it is not rare. You must discuss this with your doctor and discuss the options for management. Wish you well.
