i cant belive they never tested him..yes i can belive,.there that way around flu season..
it may be that his GFR is not up to par..this is the filtering of the blood...you need the labs..if the creatine is higher than 1.3 then the GFR will decrease..this may lower the potassium..dehydration make the potassium higher..
the doc said this was mabey hyperkalemia is higer potassium...and low potassium is hypoklamia...or the other way..i might be off..you can google this and pull up sites to were you can get good info..read on it,,this may help you see what may or may not be wrong...but usually when you lose potassium threw the kidney's ur dehydrated...or low potassium to begin with ,,,no meds hmmmm...yes blood p is the sign of low potassium and low heart rate..mail me whats going on now??? did they put him on a potassium supplement like micro k ??? mail me let me know,,,thanks james
I forgot to mention before this my husband was on no meds .........and the doctor told my husband it was hyper somethhing but he could not recall the whole name of the condition that was causing him to lose potassium through his urine....AGAIN THANK YOU DOCTOR FOR YOUR TIME !!
