I have been having high blood pressure all of a sudden. I have began the low sodium DASH Diet. I ve been on it for a 3 weeks and have been switched twice from high blood pressure meds and still am having high blood pressure . I have gone through numerous ct scans and labs (over 35 different lab blood draws)and testing and doctors initially thought adrenal tumor but that was not the case, thought possible heart condition but that was not the case and in doing all the testing, scans, and labs they only found this - labs: slight elevation in aldosterone (doctor not convinced it was a significant amount of elevation to cause the blood pressure to be as elevated as it was 223/143 while on a calcium blocker med) ct angio chest +Abd+Pelvis w Contrast: heterogeneous enlarged uterus with prominent lower uterine segment/cervix. Pelvic ultrasound can further characterize. I would like to know what that is/means and if could be a cause of the high blood pressure
