What Causes Frequent Urination And Twitching Muscles When Having High BP?

Hello doctor, I had blood test because of high blood pressure and the results says that my plasma metanepherines are normal and aldosterone/PRA ratio 372 which could be compactible with Conn s syndrome. I ve bee scheduled for a CT scan. Pesently, I m experiencing weird feelings all over my body including constant urination, funny feelings in my head and under my skin...especially my arms and legs..not sure if it s themuscle, twitching, frequent burping and excessive flatulence. I m really nervous. Also, I earlier tested positive of Hpylori and has been treated. I m scared it s not caused anything in me. My sex libido is almost zero too.

Hi
Welcome to HCM!
I appreciate your concern for frequent urination with high BP.

I have gone through the details given in your case, I am of the opinion that the problems you are facing like frequent urination, muscle twitchings, abdominal cramps, excessive flatulence and loss of libido are highly suggestive of increase production of Aldosterone hormone in your body.

This is reflected in the form of high BP, high plasma aldosterone/plasma renin activity (372 pmol/L)... Normal values are less than 270

Causes of primary aldosteronism may be due to presence of an adrenal tumor (aldosterone-secreting benign tumor), or unilateral or bilateral adrenal hyperplasia.

Treatment depends upon the cause which can be detected the CT scan.
A low salt diet, drugs for hypertension, and the surgical removal of the tumor if any are the options.
Be in touch with your doctor.
if convinced with the explanation give above kindly give your feedback with thanks. Take care of your health
