have been to hospital a few times last fe weeks with high bp they are trying all different meds to lower it how ever it is still currently 170 over 120 on average sometimes little lower or higher is it safe to work with blood pressure this high?
Hi, I was treated in the ER for hypokalaemia with IV potassium and then on K+ supplements in the hospital for a few days. Also had slightly raised creatinine (no treatment needed it resolved itself) I also had ECG changes (T wave inversion). No explanation for hypokalaemia…had not had any vomiting/diarrhoea, not on medication, no excessive vomiting or sweating, don’t have an eating disorder or use diuretics, and apart from the slightly rasied creatinine, urine was fine.
Had stress testand echo which were both ok.
Any ideas?
edit: was told by ER drs that potassium level was too low to have been caused by dietary insufficiency.
?????
My husband has just been diagnosed with high blood pressure. The medication makes him sick and he would like to control it without medication anyway. Does anyone have any tips?
Could anyone tell me the signs or symptoms of potassium deficiency?
If someone had a very healthy diet high in potassium rich foods and took a multi vitamin on occasion what would their chances be of ingesting too much potassium and is it really something to watch for anyway?
OK i’m not looking for lectures. I use this on top of exercise and healthy diet. I know the risks related to potassium deficiency, electrolyte imbalances and dehydration, which is why I add lots of salt to everything I eat, drink lots of water, and drink apple cider vinegar which prevents potassium loss. Also my GP checks my blood regularly and cant find any problems.
Anyway, back to how many. I take 3-4 before or after everything I eat and I still am not dependent on them. I can go a few days without needing any. So has anyone taken more than this?
