What you have is known as hyperaldosteronism. It can primary or secondary-- in your case it is secondary due to the high blood pressure. Many times this is treated with a diuretic (Spironolactone) and through diet. The only times when other diseases become a concern is if you were to have a history of kidney or liver disease. If you do have a history, please notify your doctor. It is also important for you to notify him/her of any medications that you are currently taking so that your doctor can prescribe the best medication for you.
