To all people who have suffered from potassium deficiency…?
What were your symptoms? Have any of you had normal serum levels of potassium and took a supplement and ‘cured’ some of your symptoms? Thanx cause I’ve got twitches and other symptoms.

Ok so I take this medication that lowers my potassium usually with a potassium supplement of 300 mg
this morning I saw that I finished the supplements yesterday, instead of skipping the med that lowers my potassium I stubbornly took it
now I’m paying for it….
It’s 5:23 in the morning and I’ve been awake for about half an hour with horrible leg cramps
I know it’s my potassium because I felt more symptoms like nausea and weakness throughout the day
what I wanna know is if there’s any way to get rid of these pains….
I tried massaging my legs and it makes it worse
I’m afraid that if I try to stand I’ll really screw myself up
please help :\

Is it possible that this "excess" of potassium could cause death? And if so, what would be your symptoms to look for?
I drink 4-8 coffees every day, and also 1-2 beers - sometimes every day, sometimes 1-2 times a week. I have symptoms of magnesium and potassium deficiency - arrhythmias from time to time, eyelid twitching etc. I checked my blood levels of these minerals and results are ok - everything’s in normal range. But I’ve read somewhere that you could still be deficient in magnesium though your blood results are ok. Is it true?
Any thoughts?
I have hypothyroidism and I am taking Synthroid. I missed taking them for about a week, but now I started taking them again, continuously every day in the morning! I was also taking my birth control pills prescribed by my doctor! I started taking them again about a month ago, then stopped cause I figured, everything is kool!! I am one week late with my period and I took a pregnancy test and it was positive! Are these pregnancy tests accurate?? I did some bloodwork, EKG, Urine, and had an X-ray done about 3 weeks ago, but my doctor didn’t mention that I was pregnant! I haven’t been sleeping, I have put on a little weight….not much! I did the pregnancy test today, but I have been stressed out lately, with college and homework and haven’t been sleeping too good!! When I recieved the results of the tests, my potassium level was slightly high and the doctor did another blood test last week!! I am now waiting the results of this test! I have an MRI to do on Wednesday!! Can you please help?
