Diagnosed with high blood pressure, low sodium levels, diagnosed with high potassium levels - what does it mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not related: High blood pressure, high or normal sodium and low potassium suggest an aldosterone secreting adenoma or adrenal hyperplasia but your abnormalities can't be neatly explained and may be due to medications you take, co-morbid conditions like kidney disease (?), or diet.
