I am 57yrs. old female on 8mg Artacand hypertensive drugs. Have carried out many tests to understand whether I have primary or secondary hypertension. Did a 24 hr urine test and following are the results:
Ur. Creatine 2.3
Creatine Excr. 7.9 nmol/d (Range 5-16)
Adrenaline Exc. 41 nmol/d (Range 0-80)
Noradrenaline Excr. 557 nmol/d (Range 100-420). Note Hypertensive Range 45-680.
Doctor is doing another test for plasma free metanephrine and 24 hr urine test for metanephrine and noradrenaline.
What should I ask the doctor during my next visit when the test report is available?
Also thryoid test show elelvated THYRAB antibodies , TSH TSI and Anti TPO within normal range. Doctor say I do not have thyroid disease.
