she was very outgoing, a cheerleader, popular, and honor student. Her parents have always been proud, & never been pushy or demanding. She will be 21 next week, a med student wants 2 be a nurse/midwife.The first attack came when we were going out shopping but ended up in the ER, she felt she’s having a heart attack. it was low potassium, & these attacks. Since all this started, she has left her college apartment moved back home & her mother is having to sleep w/ her because shes scared something is going to happen to her medically. Now she is worried about her breathing and repsirations & heart.
Shes on adavant & effexor but it seems its not helping, and she is even scard of the side effects, this is the 2nd meds becos she read the lables on the other & was even to scard to take it. She wont leave the house scared of having an attack, & is losing weight. She doesnt want her mom to leave her either. She has never been this way & it scares all of us w/ this constant worry she has. ??

male 24, I have been really really sick for couple of months. I had all these tests before and well and that time Doctors diagnosed me with chem imbalance depression and Anxiety.

I haven’t taken any SSRI yet as I am not convinced I have depression.

My symptoms include a lot of weakness. no energy in legs, arms and legs get heavy.fatigue, my appetite is craving for sweets and fry foods. I hate waking up in morning and sleep all day and I am up all night. I have withdrawn from everything as I feel to ill in general.

I barely go outside and this has been hapening from past 5 months.

I went to another doctor and she has ordered following tests.

Biochemistry- Glucose, TSH, Creatine, Uric Acid, Sodium, Pottasium, Chloride, CK, ALT, Bilirubin, Albumin, Cholestrol, B12, Ferritin, Urinalysis (Chemeical)

CBC
Other Tests - Si Calcium
Vit D
ESR
CRP

FOBT (Fecal Occult Blood Test)

She want’s to do all these before referring me to Psychiatrist.

Any can these Tests see if there is any Nutrional deficiency, Liver Problem, Kidney Prob, Stomach Problem, or any infection in Blood ?

I went to Cardiologist who performed several tests and said my heart is fine.

Will all these tests give doctor a good indication if I am physically healthy

my husband has diabetes,high bp and heart failure. his potasssium levels are dangerously high and his dr wants him on a low salt ,low potassium low sugar diet.this is a very hard thing to do.i cant find any help with recipes or foods on this restrictive a diet. am desperate,please help
he can have no whole grains, citrus,green leafy veggies,potato , banana, sugars,etc. the list goes on. there is not much left to eat

I heard because of the high potassium in them, and that the mosquitoes like blood high in potassium.

I rarely (and I do mean rarely) eat bananas, because the taste and smell disgust me, but I’m usually the one who always gets bitten the most. Does this mean I my blood is naturally high in potassium?
I live on the Texas Gulf Coast.

The dr checked my sodium levels and they are fine, but my potassium is a little low. Also, I was diagnosed w/ hypothyrroidism 2 months ago so I am taking synthroid for it. I also take effexor xr for anxiety and skelaxon as needed for chronic muscle tension. I drink lots of water and I don’t eat a lot of salty foods, I just don’t get it!

Im not sure what to do for this problem:
Calculate the average mass of potassium if the abundance and atomic masses making up its naturally occuring samples are:
Potassium-39 93.12% 38.964
Potassium-41 6.88% 40.962
