high potassium
by mom321123, Apr 19, 2008 11:22AM
42yr old female, heart arrythemia, fatigue, recent lab shows chloride 4.4, potassium 106, kidney and liver functions within normal ranges, cholesterol 217, CBC normal. results were sent to my home with a note about my cholesterol being a bit high. My heart acting funny was initial cause for seeing a dr.. Some research founded that increased potassium can cause arrythemias but also alot of other things. does the potassium and chloride have anything to do with each other? Can I treat these increases at home? What should I do?

That's something to discuss with your doctor. Potassium, too high or too low, can affect your heart rhythm. You need to find out why your levels are high. I'm not sure what would cause that.
