Not all high blood pressure is “essential” hypertension. In many patients, the real problem is primary aldosteronism, a hormone-producing adrenal tumor causing the body to retain salt and raise blood pressure.

PA is frequently missed, even though it can increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, atrial fibrillation, and kidney damage far beyond regular hypertension. Many patients spend years on multiple blood pressure medications before receiving the correct diagnosis.

At the Carling Adrenal Center, expert evaluation and minimally invasive adrenal surgery help many patients dramatically improve, and sometimes completely cure their hypertension and hormone imbalance.

Early diagnosis matters because treating the source of the problem can be life-changing.

Mental health and physical health are deeply connected, especially when it comes to your adrenal glands. Hormone imbalances, including disruptions in cortisol levels, can contribute to symptoms like anxiety, depression, and persistent fatigue, often without an obvious cause.

During Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s important to recognize that these symptoms aren’t “just in your head.” At the Carling Adrenal Center, we help patients understand the full picture so they can advocate for answers and receive care that supports both emotional and physical well-being.

Adrenal adenomas are often described as “benign incidental findings,” but that explanation can be incomplete. While many are non-cancerous, studies show that a significant percentage, often 20–50% or more when carefully tested, are hormonally active and can silently affect health.

These functional adenomas may produce excess cortisol or aldosterone, leading to symptoms such as weight gain, high blood pressure, diabetes or prediabetes, osteoporosis, fatigue, mood changes, and muscle weakness. Importantly, imaging alone cannot determine whether an adrenal adenoma is functioning. A full hormonal workup is required to assess cortisol, aldosterone, and catecholamine production.

At the Carling Adrenal Center, high-volume adrenal specialists evaluate and treat these tumors comprehensively, because early detection and expert management can prevent years of avoidable disease progression.

Not all high blood pressure is the same, and in some cases, it may have a treatable or even curable cause. One example is Conn’s syndrome (primary aldosteronism), where the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone, leading to hypertension that is often resistant to standard medications.

During High Blood Pressure Education Month, it’s a reminder that proper screening matters. At the Carling Adrenal Center, our focus is identifying adrenal-related causes of hypertension so patients can receive targeted, expert care that may significantly improve—and in some cases resolve—their high blood pressure.

Hypertension affects an estimated 1.4 billion adults worldwide, but not all high blood pressure is the same. In some cases, it can be caused by an underlying endocrine disorder that is both identifiable and treatable.

If your hypertension is resistant to standard medications, it may be due to primary aldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome). Talk with your healthcare provider about appropriate screening. Finding the root cause is the first step toward more effective treatment.

A 75-year-old professor from Maryland with a history of stage 4 gastric cancer came to our center after a new tumor was discovered on his left adrenal gland.

Two years earlier, he had undergone a partial gastrectomy along with HIPEC treatment, a specialized form of heated chemotherapy delivered directly into the abdomen. While effective in certain advanced cancers, HIPEC can create extensive internal scarring, making future abdominal surgery significantly more difficult.

During routine follow-up imaging, a small adrenal mass was identified. Over time, the tumor continued to grow, and PET imaging confirmed concern for an isolated adrenal metastasis. Importantly, there was no evidence of cancer elsewhere in the body.

Because of his prior surgeries and abdominal scarring, a traditional abdominal approach would have been especially challenging. Instead, he underwent a Mini Back Scope Adrenalectomy (MBSA), a minimally invasive approach performed through the back rather than through the abdomen.

His surgery was successful, and he recovered very well. He has since returned home and will continue close follow-up with his oncology team. This case highlights how minimally invasive adrenal surgery can offer important advantages for patients with prior abdominal operations and complex cancer histories.

As the Carling Adrenal Center celebrates its 2,222nd adrenal surgery milestone, Rebecca’s story highlights the life-changing impact of finding the right expertise. Even living just 45 minutes from Johns Hopkins, she chose to travel to Tampa after months of researching her adrenal tumor and searching for answers about Cushing’s syndrome.

After her tumor was discovered unexpectedly during a CT scan, Rebecca spent nearly a year learning everything she could about adrenal disease before ultimately choosing Dr. Tobias Carling and the specialized adrenal surgery expertise at Carling Adrenal Center.

“When I began researching my diagnosis online, Dr. Carling’s website and YouTube channel were the resources I found to be so full of valuable information that they helped me understand my situation and what course of action I should take,” Rebecca shared.

Her journey reflects what so many adrenal patients experience—years of unexplained symptoms, endless questions, and the search for a team with unmatched experience. 🧡

High blood pressure isn’t always just “essential” or unexplained. Sometimes, high blood pressure is your body signaling something deeper. In certain cases, an adrenal disorder may be the underlying cause, and identifying it can completely change the treatment path.

At the Carling Adrenal Center, we look beyond symptom management to uncover whether your hypertension could actually be curable at its source. Learn what your blood pressure may really be telling you.
