1. If you are referring to your K+ being too low, you need to seek medical treatment

3. Hopefully your Dr. told you to start a supplement?

Did Dr. give you prescription strength potassium?

That should bring it up into normal range to begin.

5. I think you meant your post to be addressed to the OP

2. Blood pressure meds

I was taking lisinopril, switched to Atenolol and problem went away.

4. Lisonopril is an ACE inhibitor and does not make your K+ too low. Just the opposite, it can make

one’s K+ too high

6. OK

Maybe that was it, this was a long time ago and memory can be wrong.. Should have checked a little further...Thank you for correcting me.

7. but your point is still good in that it can affect potassium levels.

8. Surprised

I was pretty surprised to find that potassium balance can be that important and that too much is as dangerous as it is.

11. Too low or too high are dangerous, as with a lot of things. What is amazing is how well the body

adjusts for imbalances.

9. Had low K during covid from drinking too much water

Raised with diet, avocado, cantaloupe, potatoes, greens, and juices, tart cherry, v8 and yerba mate. Replaced coffee with the mate which has high dose of K. In process of this most of my long covid symptoms rapidly disappeared along with the low K problems as soon as I had reached higher levels. Low K is quite common.

10. My organic garden gets 20-20-20 from organic sources in Oregon.

That way our soil has it and then the yummies.

I can't remember the source right now.
