214529 tn?1333303619 I have been taking a 10mg tablet of Klor Con for low potassium for a little over a week now. My level was 3.2 and normal is 3.5 to 5.0. When should I have my levels checked again and should I stop taking it since my level was not that low. The pills are huge and it hurts my stomach.
Avatar n tn I have major deep body charlie horses, even under rib cage, that come frequently now post surgery if I don't take my potassium -- Klor-Con: 10 mcg or something like that. It's a prescription dose. Also, magnesium is important. I would get checked out for a heart attack but it sounds likes like severe potassium deficiency. If you're on a diuretic, you definitely need to supplement with Klor-Con.
Avatar f tn I take Lisinopril 10mg, furosemide 40mg and Klor-con potassium. I have just been prescribed Spironolactone 25mg and Carvedilol 6.25.

Avatar f tn you could try an antihistamine such as 4mg piriton. This is used for such things as hayfever and is excellent for itching too. It can cause drowsiness until you get adapted to them, some people such as myself feel no effects. I know it's common for lots of itching around the chest area after bypass surgery because the nerves knit together sending out signals. I've not heard of it being all over the body and I wonder if she is having a slight allergic reaction to some medication.
Avatar f tn range), so the Rx supplements are prescribed at a dosage that keeps my blood levels at an ideal level, and my blood levels are periodically measured to make sure that this is being maintained. With that caveat out of the way, I take Klor-Con M20 tablets (that's 20 milli-equivalents) 2x daily. To convert mEq to mg you have to flash back to chemistry class and use molecular weights etc., so I'm just cheating and getting numbers off a pharmacy site online.
Avatar n tn What is your RA Factor level? Any other abnormal labs, i.e. Magnesium, Potassiun, Sodium, Calcium? CRP level?

369861 tn?1306275686 meaning (in a nutshell) it will take the potassium with it when it causes your body to get rid of excess fluids (the Klor-con is for replacing lost potassium)...Your beta -blocker (atenolol) is designed to improve the contractility of your heart (squeezing) without driving up your blood pressure...If you are more than 80 lbs overwieght, or small and 50+ lbs over, the fat begins to enclose your heart and prevents it from filling with blood properly.
658297 tn?1224631808 Thank you for your advice, none of my health care team have suggested any of the above in the whole time I have suffered. I have excluded lactose and gluten intenetionally for a few weeks each which didn't have any noticeable effect but I will get some proper tests done.

Avatar n tn I think that the sternum cartilage overgrowth is rubbing my heart or a major artery which causes the afib. which is why afib is associated with quick movements. I believe that the sternum cartilage is pressing in on this artery or my heart which is causing paralysis and disorientation from not enough blood flow. I think that this is why I'm also very sensitive to g-forces and lying on my back and why I hear and feel "whoosh" of my heart from my chest through my neck.
Avatar m tn You didn't say if you used a condom or not. If you used a condom then you had no risk for HIV. If you did not use a condom then all the tests you took at 3 months or more after exposure are conclusive. The fact that every test you've taken has been negative means that you don't have HIV. All HIV tests currently on the market are conclusive by 3 months after exposure.
1448921 tn?1287789632 I have on/off low Potassium levels and am only suplemented for this if they go quite low. At the moment the are slightly low at 3.3 but I haven't been put on anything to correct this. My levels were like this before I started Fludrocortisone and taking this med has not made it any worse. My sodium levels are the top end of normal but have not never been high.
Avatar f tn I know the Klor-Con makes him VERY confused and dizzy. Is there another type of potassium that can be used for the same effect that won't cause these symptoms? Also, several years back (before the ulcer burst), dad was worried about his heart so he began taking Aspirin. He took one pill a night for a few months but started having a breathing problem while sleeping. He would stop breathing in his sleep. He stopped taking aspirin and this problem went away.
Avatar f tn this is known as off labeling...where a drug is intended for one purpose but used for another....in this case insomnia......
