I'm dehydrated but mostly my potassium is critically low, so low my hearts racing and they worry a little about me having a heart attack. They told me to try my best to get fluids in and put me on 3 potassium pills a day. I have to go back Monday. Honestly I'm not suprised before I switched doctors in 2008 I was admitted 3 times for hypoklemia and was pumped full of potassium. I thought I was over this Guess not. Pray for me please I feel horrid.

Thanxs, Amy

A very fixable problem, Amy. That's the good news. Sip, sip, sip. I had the same issue for some time afterwards. The solution really was sip, sip, sip .. and half a banana in my protein shake made me feel better too. The prescriptions help as well. Hang in there. Sip, sip, sip. :-)

Glad they found out what was wrong Amy. I have had the same problem also--long before surgery and used to take 40 MEQ of potassium daily.

The first step to fixing a problem is finding the root cause. others have given you good advise.

I wish you a speedy recovery.
