Lifelong symptoms reduced by taking potassium. Would appreciate your theories!

I’m very interested in your theories for my undiagnosed condition.

I’m a 30 year old male that has suffered from a long list of chronic severe symptoms for most of my life. Dozens of specialists consultations and different tests and treatments have yielded no results.

Recently, I tried a potassium gluconate supplement. I experienced rapid and dramatic reduction in all of my symptoms. This effect has been repeatable for 2 months. If I stop the supplementation, the symptoms return within a day.

Severe, chronic symptoms improved:

• Asthma and respiratory issues.
• Nasal congestion.
• Constipation.
• Headaches.
• Muscle cramping, weakness and pain.
• Insomnia.
• Palpitations.

I’ve also suffered from unexplained osteoporosis since my twenties.

It would be life-changing to finally know what has caused me so much suffering throughout my life. This potassium effect is my first piece of evidence that might help me solve the mystery. I would appreciate any opinions and theories!

I’m booked to see an endocrinologist. Suggestions of other recommended specialists are welcome. I’m taking 400mg to 800mg of potassium gluconate per day. I understand that this is within a safe dosage range. Previous years pathology show low but not out-of-range serum potassium levels.
