How can low sodium be increased and high potassium be reduced ...Please give ideas if any one knows ..Thanx ..

m wondering if you can or can not use something like Lo Salt that has potassium chloride in it along with beta blockers, and if so how much is recommended. I'm looking to substitute lo salt for some other high in potassium foods in order to cut down on my sugar content.

All of your values are a bit low, but the potassium is of most concern. Low levels of potassium, an electrolyte, can cause many symptoms: * Muscle cramps/aches * Fatigue, malaise and intermittent dizziness * Abnormal heart rhythms if the deficiency is not corrected (known medically as arrhythmia) Your symptoms could be due to lower than normal potassium and sodium. I advise seeing that same MD for follow up.

Hi, You don't need to avoid them- just try to be consistent! It's much harder to monitor your potassium levels and see what effect the lisinopril is having if you go on "salad binges" or something like that. Haha. Fruits and veggies are great lifestyle choices- I don't think anyone would tell you to avoid them just because of their potassium content. I'd say just stay away from potassium supplements or salt substitutes like Mrs. Dash and you will probably be ok.

she also got blood work done for signs of fatigue (showed up months before this incident) and her chloride and potassium levels were well above healthy. could this contribute to her period being late? please let me know, thanks.

I have a low 3.4 reading of potassium. I already take 2 potassium meds . what foods can I eat to bring it up?

Fatigue can be a symptom of very low potassium levels, however, it's not one of the major symptoms and sonnytabby did not provide reference ranges, which vary lab to lab, so we don't know for sure that the levels are low.

I know from experience many labs can be in range with plenty of symptoms. One in particular is vitamin B12 serum. I have had B12 malabsorption symptoms since I was a child (I have autoimmune pernicious anaemia) but still had B12 labs in range at age 31. By age 35 my B12 finally went below the range. So I also had lifelong symptoms vanish (except for permanent nerve damage) taking a single nutrient. If I stop taking my sublingual B12 spray symptoms show up in days.

I recently had my thyroid levels checked and I have low Free T4 level (.72) and low FreeT3 (1.9)? My TSH is on the low end of normal at .83. This does not seem to follow any normal pattern for Hypo or Hyper thyroid. I might note that I also have a low Anion Gap level of 4.4 (6-18 being normal range) and very low Vitamin D. I had a bout with hyperthyroid last fall. I am off all meds since spring and have been feeling fine.

what is the difference between Potassium Chloride, Potassium Nitrate and Potassium Citrate?

Candy, My potassium has run low for years now. Diagnosis Hypokalemia (sp?). Fancy word for low potassium but no help understanding why. I think it's my kidneys but no doctor has figured out why and I stopped pushing the issue. Why borrow more trouble? They keep an eye on it and I take 2 rx pills a day for it. The potassium iv bag is great but won't last long once you have stopped if you have an ongoing issue.

I read something where one of the electrolytes either sodium or chloride increases during ovulation. I think its sodium mainly, and also potassium. I would have to look it up again. I no there is a fertility watch that detects the rise of sodium level which would indicate ovulation.

My Wife was told her Potassium was low while having cancer treatment. They gave her pills and all they did was hurt her stomach and made her vomit. The body much prefers to get nutrition from natural food, it's designed to break them down from food stuff. I gave my wife a banana to eat every hour, and by three bananas her levels were normal. If Potassium is dangerously low, it's given directly into the blood because they know the body doesn't absorb it very well from pills.

) and came across some interesting stuff regarding Florinef and low potassium levels. It is listed on the side effects sheet, but frankly, I didn't pay much attention to that. Anyway, in reading more about low potassium, I've found that it can cause: •Fatigue •Patient may experience problems such as Myalgia and muscular weakness •Patient may experience hyponatremia and also may experience confused i.e. anxiety.

What are the symptoms of high potassium levels and low potassium levels? My dog is having kidney problems.
