Thanks everyone. I am getting the stockings. Yes I have seen three cardiologist. No way will I try a beta blocker. My BP is too low from the AI and to drop it more would make me sick. I use to be a cardiac rehab RN....now I am a rehab job. I was on BB when I was in the initial phase of hyperthryoidism when this all started and it made me sick. I actually took the info from this website and my PCP agreed BB would aggravate my BP's. SSRI's....Nope. xanax...I think if I took on a more regular basis maybe would snap my ans under control. It works for me and I dont have any adverse side effects from it. I salt plenty and drink lots of water. My doctor is running 24 hour urine sodium levels. He thinks I am spilling more than I should despite adequate amts of florinef and hydrocortisone. I try not to set limitations for myself either. I try to maximize my day but realize I have to put rest periods laying flat in between. This disorder is bizarre. The AI really wasted my muscles and I am trying slowly to rebuild those muscles too. Why is it in the evening things seem to settle down? katejude
