I had to look up Conn’s syndrome, as I had never heard of it. I assume now that they are aware of it, the treatment is working for you? I hope so. I have a long history of low blood potassium since my early 30s, but this time in hospital was the first time it has ever been noted as a recurring issue for me. I believe they will be addressing that soon, but for now, it is potassium as well as diuretics.

My GP prescribed Adcal and I took it for a while but then started to think about the extra calcium and why did I need it when I eat a calcium rich diet. So I went back to GP and asked him to change it to D3 only because I didn’t want calcium build up in my arteries. He said ‘that’s a good point’ and prescribed Stexerol. I’m now concerned about the Stexerol after looking at the ingredients. It also got me wondering about the bog standard D3 I’d used for years pre stroke and whether it had caused plaque build up because we also need vit K2 to ensure calcium is directed to bones where it’s needed and doesn’t build up in the arteries as plaques. I only found this out recently. I don’t know if I get enough K2 from diet because I’ve never had it measured. I couldn’t take K2 with Clopidogrel because it works against it. But now I’ve stopped Clopidogrel, I can. So from now on, I’m buying my own vit D3 and K2 with no fillers, binders or bulkers. It’s as clean as it can get. One less thing to worry about
