Do any of you watch your potassium levels?

I had been so worried about protein that I never thought about potassium.. until I read a post on the message board about a young woman dying AT A SUPPORT GROUP! Apparently she stood up to leave and had a heart attack. The autopsy showed that she was lacking potassium and that is what caused it. I am so scared. I feel like I am on the verge of death all the time.. if this or that level falls I am doomed. I am only 10 days post op and I can't imagine living the rest of my life in fear!
