I've been struggling again with my OI and I'm debating going back onto Florinef. It worked really well for me in the past but that was at a time when my BP (especially diastolic) was quite low.
Now I'm at a place where my BP is good to high (usually 120-130/80s), my aldosterone levels are optimal, and my sodium is OK (could be a little higher). But I'm dizzy!
Has anyone taken Florinef with normal BP? Does it raise it excessively?
Does Florinef work to expand the blood volume if the blood volume and pressure already appear normal (based on BP and electrolytes)?
I'm fine to take Florinef again but I just don't want to do it if it is going to cause more problems than it solves this time around. If my diastolic BP was still in the 50/60s, I would do it in a heartbeat though.
Any thoughts?
