7 signs -Physical weakness -Mental fatigue/irritability -Occasional Muscle Cramps -Constipation -Palpitation -Fluid Retention/swelling -Muscle tiredness when you wake up You're welcome. Edit: sorry im also in a hurry so i didnt check my grammar 🤘

I’m very angry at myself and my doctors. About 10 years ago I allowed a dr to put me on metapolol for heart palpitations. I told him at that time that taking potassium seem to make palpitations go away. I got a dumbfounded look. I also got the same look when I told my PCP years later. They both knew I had one thyroid removed at 12 yrs old. Years later I’ve learned more and can’t believe that the doctors didn’t make the connection. I found out I have Hashimoto after thyroid cancer. I understand why doctors say not to get information from the internet. They are afraid we might figure out, like I have, that they are clueless. Thanks so much for providing us with information that is actually life saving and not detrimental like the big pharma “doctors” who also never told me the side effects of the Crestor and PPI’s. It’s Time we all leave the pill pushers.

I had my sodium, potassium and sugar drop badly once and end up in ER! Horrible experience! They said, I was at the verge of cardiac arrest! One lesson learned!

I had a trip to the hospital yesterday, was the wake up call I needed. I now know I have a major potassium deficiency. I had no idea it could do what it ended up doing to me on Saturday morning. The cramps were so bad I asked my partner to take me to the hospital, the pain was unbearable. I couldn't walk or even stand. The nurse gave me potassium and I felt better than I have in years. And I thought I was someone who ate a well balanced diet. For two years I wake up sore and stiff, thought I was just getting older. Thank you so much, I'm making some changes in my health.

I started potassium tabs, and have been able to cut my HBP meds, resulting in a NORMAL BPressure.. never before in 30 yrs!!!!

53 years old and have all the symptoms , palpitations scared me lately ....8 beats then a massive thump continuous for hours ! Why do our GPs never tell us about this ?

I used to have all of those symptoms and ended up in hospital with a suspected heart attack. While in the hospital I was put on a potassium drip. I felt much better afterwards. It's so frustrating when I tell my doctor I feel like my potassium is low. They just don't get it. Rather than prescribing electrolytes and suggesting which foods I should eat, they always want more tests and hospital visits. I was on the operating list for 12 months before I finally said enough. Now I eat more healthily and take a potassium supplement every day I feel so much better. Nobody explained fully what the proposed surgery was actually for, but it involved going through my nose! No, thank you.

I once had my potassium level drop so low that I nearly died. I was hospitalized with delirium for 2 weeks, in a rehab facility for 2 months, and cognitive and memory impairment for nearly 2 years. As a Mensa member the final condition was the worst. Low potassium is no joke!

I recently had very low potassium, 2.7 I think. I had been passing out and called the ambulance. After my blood work showed the severe potassium level an infusion was started immediately! You can die from too low in potassium. Thank God they found it and helped me quickly.

I passed out in an airport, and the emergency room found I had low potassium. We had been vacationing, and I had not had enough water or food. I did not realize the danger — it can stop your heart. I am thankful they identified the problem so quickly.

When I am low on potassium I get very little deep sleep! If you have those exercise watches that record your sleep cycle you can know when you are running low because you will have very little deep sleep!

Just found out that my potassium was critical low…and I was having heart palpitations…they gave me potassium pills and started felling good instantly…woke up this morning felling like I could run miles…didn’t know that was so important to your heart..🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I struggled for 6 month having seizures everyday , no energy, it got to the point I had to admit defeat and go to the hospital…. My pottasium level was at 1.1 the doctors said a few more hours I would be dead, a year later my body still won’t hold it in my body at all but I’m doing much better

I would suffer with muscle knots and major cramping for years, rubbing them out would help, but, once I started on a daily potassium magnesium supplement, these symptoms have completely gone. Relief!!

It's very important to make sure you don't have low potassium!! I was feeling bad for several days, finally felt so bad the 3rd day & had to call an ambulance. When I got to the ER & checked by the doctor, I was told they didn't see how I was alive. My potassium & magnesium wouldn't even register it was so low!! Please keep this checked & look for signs. I now take prescription potassium & magnesium every day & have blood work every 2 months & more often if I feel bad & have any of these signs!! Hope all stays well!!

Thank you for your video. I want people to also be aware of a disease that causes low K called Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis. If anyone has low K and kidney stones but the doctors aren't connecting the dots you might have this disease (which comes in conjunction with autoimmune secondary disorders). Also, be aware too much K has the same symptoms as low K. I was unconscious for over 18 hours as my body was voiding probably 99.99% of the K IV bags (it burns going in) I was being given until my body decided to start retaining it. I was inpatient for 3 days trying to get my levels back up. And from my missing 18 hours I was very disoriented. It all started with weakness and breathing problems. This was scarier than a life of chronic stones.

Really enjoyed this video. I had cancer, I'm a 15 year survivor, and after 9 months of chemo it really messed my up. I have to take 2 potassium tablets daily, also 2 B-12 injections weekly, and serveral other meds. Since being on potassium I feel so much better. I definitely recommend getting tested for your potassium level. It's worth it folks.

Feel so lost. At 74, I have had one Dr that actually listened to my symptom and along with a blood test, prescribed potassium for me. which improved my life so quickly it was a blessing. As I followed my husband to every small town as he progressed in his career, I had many doctors who were afraid to prescribe potassium. Resorted to dietary fixes which only partially helped. Years of cramps...insomnia...palpitations...heart tests...30 day heart monitors...bloat...constipation...blurry thinking ...cramped hands and toes...My new doctor says blood test look normal, but I take 3AM+3PM 99 potassium tabs to just stay a bit normal. Am having cramps in my feet as I write this. It's wonderful to have this information, but how do I find a Dr. less afraid of a law suit and more interested in relieving the suffering of his patients?
