Hi, I've Been Dealing With Low Blood Pressure All Last

default
Posted on Tue, 26 Jan 2021
Question: Hi, I've been dealing with low blood pressure all last year, my doctor refused for a long time to get me into an endocrinologist, so I did a few tests on my own. These included the LH, FSH, Thyroid, and Pancreas. They all came out as okay, except the FSH, which was at 13.9 (being higher I read makes the b.p. go up and not down). I showed the doctor, but she still refused to help me. So, I went and paid out of pocket to have my parathyroid, hypothalamus, Serotonin, Lyme and other viruses, Estradiol, DHEA Sulfate, Progesterone, sex hormone binding globulin, prolactin, erythropoietin, estrogen, somatostatin, albumin, alkaline phos., ANA, XXXXXXX Sjogren test, total complacent, TMAO, LD1-5, my alpha and beta globulins, Gamma Globulin, Coenzyme Q10, Aldosterone, Creatinine, Amylase, all my Immunoglobulins, ACTH, DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE, IGF, ANGIOTENSIN-1-CONVERTING AT
ENZYME 58 9-67 U/L GROWTH HORMONE (GH), and testosterone were all tested and came out clear. But, I did an iodine test, and it came out 47 (below safety levels). I went to a neurologist and had a Brain MRI done, my brain was okay and so was my pituitary, pineal, and hypothalamus glands. My questions are this: Are there any other hormones I should be tested for that could be causing my FSH to be too high? Are there any other hormones I should be tested for that could be causing my low blood pressure that I should be tested for? I have no signs of gonad damage or problems, but could I have something unseen that could be causing the high FSH? With all these tests done, could there still be a chance I have a tumor in my body causing my problems (such as near my adrenal gland)?

Brief Answer:
Check cortisol level;

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
You checked all these hormones, and didn' t check cortisol that is the most common one causing low blood pressure when it is not produced enough by adrenal gland.
An ultrasound of the gonads would be of help to see the structure, dimensions ect.
The adrenal tumors usually cause the opposite symptoms ( high blood pressure).
So check the cortisol level and an ultrasound of the testicles would be of help.
Best wishes.
