I was watching mythbusters and they were re-enacting a McGuyver episode and trying blow a hole in a wall with sodium and water. When the sodium wouldn’t work they tried potassium and the mini explosion was bigger. What is it about potassium that makes it more reactive?

Its it it’s molecular weight, its electron configuration?….

p.s neither worked and they ended up using C4 lol

I am waking each night with horrid leg cramps and was told to boost my potassium levels. Besides bananas what foods have potassium naturally.

When I was at school, my university doctor diagnosed me with high blood pressure. I took medication (Atenol sp?) for a while before running out and summer vacation starting. I saw my family doctor at home now 3 months into summer vacation, and he said my blood pressure is fine.

I recently decided to log my blood pressure over the past month. Thus far in the morning it's averaging at 135/79, and at night 136/85. Hypertension starts at 140/90, which it looks like I'm just beneath. My family doctor says im in the 95th percentile for my age in blood pressure, but 95 still in the range that it's normal…

Should I be getting a third opinion? Could it be higher because of the stress at school? Should I be taking blood pressure meds? I really dont wanna die of a heart attack when I'm 35, so advice is appreciated here.

My mothers potassium level is constantly low. Is this a sign of possible cancer?

My iron is a bit low, but I just started a medication that requires a low-potassium diet. Many of the foods I used to eat for iron are now off limits!
