The patient was discharged and was lost to follow-up until he presented again in 2012 for 'resistant hypertension' in our outpatient clinic.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
After the initial visit, the patient presented to the clinic with complaints of dizziness and fatigue and was found to be hypotensive.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
He reports compliance with his medication regimen, and does not report any specific intolerances that he attributes to medications, but does note that he has a dry mouth, feels fatigued, and has excessive daytime sleepiness. Continue[clevelandclinicmeded.com]
As an aside, the fatigue and dry mouth were attributed to the β-blocker and the alpha 2 -agonist, supporting the adherence he claimed to his BP regimen.[cjasn.asnjournals.org]

Daytime sleepiness, loudsnoring, and witnessed apnea are suspicious for sleep apnea. A history of peripheral or coronary atherosclerotic disease increases the likelihood of renal artery stenosis.[circ.ahajournals.org]
However, given the high prevalence of often severe OSA in patients with RH and the potential benefit of CPAP to enhance BP control, clinicians should vigorously screen such patients for symptoms of OSA (loudsnoring, frequent nocturnal arousals, witnessed[ahajournals.org]

We report the case of a 34-year-old male patient who presented with generalized weakness, poorly controlled hypertension, nocturnal hypertension spikes, and morning headaches.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Such actions may include: Skipping your medication : When you take an aspirin and your headache goes away, you know the aspirin is working.[hopkinsmedicine.org]

The authors report a case and review the diagnostic workup of Conn syndrome in which resistant hypertension and hypokalemia were cured by unilateral adrenalectomy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
On administration of pioglitazone (30 mg/d) and nifedipine (40 mg/d), hypertension and hypokalemia improved and plasma aldosteronedecreased for more than 6 months.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Our conclusion is that optimising medical treatment based on simple algorithms remains the state of the art in treatment-resistant hypertension.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CONCLUSIONS: ATRH entails a worse renal prognosis in T2D with hypertension. BP control is not associated with a more-favorable renal outcome in aTRH.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This article will describe how resistant hypertension is defined, its prevalence and prognosis, methods to diagnose it effectively in routine practice and strategies to effectively manage patients diagnosed with the condition.[heart.bmj.com]
Thus, the use of spironolactone has been associated with better prognosis in patients with heart failure,4 while it has been pointed out that treatment with doxazosin has been related with a higher incidence of heart failure, although it seems that this[revespcardiol.org]

CONCLUSION: The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system seems to play a cardinal role in the pathophysiology of resistant HT and requires appropriate management.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
