Hyperaldosteronism:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Most clinical effects of hyperaldosteronism result from hypokalemia, which increases neuromuscular irritability and produces muscle weakness; intermittent, flaccid paralysis; fatigue; headaches; paresthesia; and, possibly, tetany (resulting from metabolic alkalosis), which can lead to hypocalcemia.
Diabetes mellitus is common, perhaps because hypokalemia interferes with normal insulin secretion. Hypertension and its accompanying complications are also common. Other characteristic findings include visual disturbances and loss of renal concentrating ability, resulting in nocturnal polyuria and polydipsia. Azotemia indicates chronic potassium depletion nephropathy.

Hyper-aldosteronism:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
Most clinical effects of hyperaldosteronism result from hypokalemia, which increases neuromuscular irritability and produces muscle weakness, fatigue, headaches, paresthesia, and intermittent, flaccid paralysis.
Hypokalemia interferes with normal insulin secretion and can worsen glucose control in diabetic patients with hyperaldosteronism. Hypertension and its accompanying complications are also common. Another characteristic finding is loss of renal concentrating ability, resulting in polyuria and polydipsia. Azotemia indicates chronic potassium depletion nephropathy.
Clinical tip Consider primary hyperaldosteronism in those hypertensive patients with spontaneous hypokalemia or significant hypokalemia on modest diuretic dosing.
