What are the symptoms? Especially for someone in their early twenties? Will a doctor prescribe potassium chloride for atherosclerosis?

Do any one know the symptoms of having high potassium and ever experience it. I want someone who than been in the shoe’s of someone who had it.
~Thank U

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?

I am a 53 year-old working housewife. Last January, the whole family made a trip out of town. My son and I ate something the others did not. Both of us got sick the next day, diarrhea and vomiting consistent with food poisoning. We were given the same medication; my son got better after 4 days while it’s been 4 weeks for me but my bowel movements still have not gotten back to normal. I don’t have the diarrhea anymore, just soft, unformed stool. Two weeks after the diarrhea episode, I got the flu- fever, coughing, body aches. A week after that, I woke up feeling really sick to my stomach. I was dizzy, nauseated, lots of stomach cramping and gas rumbling. In addition, I was very tired and was having chills. I went to the ER and was diagnosed with diarrhea (which I did not really have anymore) and just "virus" infection and was given Bentyl. The next day, I had a follow-up check with my primary doctor and was given flagyl and diarrhea medicine. He said it was "just virus" I stopped taking the flagyl after 2 days because I was getting more sick in the stomach. My doctor changed my medicine to Nexium, saying I had a lot of acid reflux. Nexium gave me headaches and made the dizziness and nausea worse, so I stopped it after 3 days. I went to see my ENT doctor because I could not sleep at night from post nasal drip and dry mouth and throat. I had redness in my throat and again, he concluded acid reflux and virus. He prescribed saline irrigation and changed my med. to Xantax. Again, the headache reaction was there and Xantax did not really help. I also consulted with a GI doctor and he ordered testing for TSH and H. pylori plus an abdominal/pelvic CT scan. All turned out negative so I was diagnosed again with acid reflux and "virus" that just won’t go away. I made another trip to the ER because I was getting weaker everyday and my blood pressure was spiking (145-150 over 90-100). I was scared. Blood test showed my Potassium was low (3.0), I was given 2 bags of IV and 40 mg. of potassium tablets. Went back to my primary doctor complaining of the same thing, dull headache, dizziness, and nausea especially in the morning. Convinced my doctor that my blood pressure was probably aggravating my symptoms, he gave me Toprol (50 mg) once a day. There are tell-tale signs that Toprol is working, in addition to my nausea, the med. now makes me sleepy and sluggish. There is improvement in my legs from potassium but my symptoms are still here and it has been 3 weeks since I was diagnosed with virus and acid reflux. I do have acid reflux as my ENT doctor saw thickening in my larynx, however, I don’t have the burning sensation as most sufferers do, just a lot of belching and stomach gas. My diet consists of rice, lean boiled chicken, oatmeal, crackers, ginger tea, yogurt, and I am also taking probiotics. I have missed work for 3 weeks now because I can’t get up in the morning. Some days are better and I would conclude that I’ve been healed but the next day, I would be sick again, my symptoms come and go. Today, I saw an eye doctor but he did not find anything wrong with my eyes. I am desperate for a cure, I am tired of being sick, I am depressed and frustrated. Please help me. Thank you.
