CAH parent's, anyone having high blood pressure?
8/4/01 4:36 PM

In wondering about CAH and high cholesterol, am also wondering if any parent's of CAH children are having high blood pressure measurements.  My blood pressure was first stated as high at the 6 week checkup after birth of the SWCAH twins (age 35), it was never high before that (even in very stressful work and college days).  It has been high ever since then, have been running 130-140/90-100 the last few months (with even being on BP medicine).  I have wondered if maybe handling (touching) the florinef, cortef and/or salt solution could cause BP to rise, or could affect our endocrine systems in some way.  I now not  touch the meds, but BP is not coming down, and potassium still low.   Has anyone been told anything about what handling these meds could do to our systems?
