I'm checking my potassium level every 4 weeks... this is the only way I can catch it before it drops to much. With medications it will increase to 4,2-4,6, but after a few weeks it's back to 3,5 (yes, that's normal, but if I wait much longer, then it drops lower and faster to 2,8... ). It started when I was 24 years old. The first year we didn't realize it, but after couple of nights at emmergency room I started to get my blood tested every 4 weeks. And I don't have any problems with hormons, kidneys and etc. This is my only healt problem.....
Interesting to hear a low body temperature can cause hypokalemia ? Please more information on this. Both me mom and I have been diagnosed with this in recent years and we both have low “normal “ body temperatures. 97.2- 97.6 can be our normals.
I had always looked for this type of board-less direct teaching method,writing it on the screen or paper most of the time makes it less likely to be recalled in practice!
Thank you sir for great effort ..but plz one thing l dont understand about the mechnism of loss of K in vomiting ??why renal excreated K in blood alkalosis ????
Doc am a 64 year old patient i was operated on my thyrroiud gland last October 2014. After that operation i experienced epilepsy and then right now am suffering from hypocalcemia. Most of the time am in and out of the hospital due to low potassium . can you give me some tips or what food to eat so i may stop this stress. Besides am taking so many calcium medicines and also valproic acid for my epilepsy
First time doctor just tell me that i have hypokalemia but never told how can i loss all the kalium. Until transfer to other hospital and they searching the causes of my hypokalemia is because genetic disorder bartter syndrome 🙄 well its been 13 years live with it.
i have a hypokalimia and my doctor gave me kalium durule cuz my potassium is 2.80 and last m0nth i check it its 4.23 but i check it now its 3.73 my tyroid and kriatinine are n0rmal whats wr0ng
My neurologist says I have hypokalemic periodic paralysis but my levels of potassium were normal during attack. I know I have periodic paralysis but not convinced it’s hypokalemic.
@@jeffersonbautista1227 I was having very low pottasium level n my whole body was paralyzed but before it used to come back to normal n just 1 or 2 days but this year from June to September my levels were flactuating n I had to b in bed for more than 4 months but now m ok

maybe you should check your magnesium level.
Bro eat more pottasium content food like avocados and banana and drink coconut water daily
I have also same problem bro
@@musthkimmd7693cantaloupe would be better choice than bananas.

I train hard and then I get hypokalemia... this happens to me often :( this is my own self diagnosis.
Yeah that happens with me too , I m so much irritated with it.☹️
I think the same is happening to me.
Good day doc new subscriber here,,
Doc is it true that eating sour food can reduce potassium in the body..?? Please answer cause i suffer from hypokalemic paralysis too.😢😢
where are you doctor please
First time doctor just tell me that i have hypokalemia but never told how can i loss all the kalium. Until transfer to other hospital and they searching the causes of my hypokalemia is because genetic disorder bartter syndrome 🙄 well its been 13 years live with it.
Is the sour foods like green manggo and vinegar reduces potassium?

شكرا لك
I always thought the sodium potassium pump would pump potassium out of the cells using ATP, how would that cause hypokalemia by activating the pump?
3Na out of cell & 2K in
Hypokalemia treatment plz share video

Thanks sirrr.
Hypocalemia and hypocalcemia that is my illness now doc.
I experienced Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis
well said sir
Uhhm Sir i had bartter syndrome
Does having sex causes hypokalemia?
Sir I suffer hypokalemia for almost 7 years and I can no longer walk ,is there a chance that i can recover?
Of course you can recover if it is only Hypokalemia. I don't know what underlying disease you may have, so it's hard to tell what you need.
My neurologist says I have hypokalemic periodic paralysis but my levels of potassium were normal during attack.
I know I have periodic paralysis but not convinced it’s hypokalemic.
Having this diagnosis really sucks :/
Brother could you please make a video of it and post it on youtube. WHEN I become a doctor it may help me. Stories help us remember things.
Bro I have dat same problem so don't worry...go n check vitamin b12 level
