Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question on HCM

I do understand your pain and discomforts

As per your history is concerned you have deficiency of certain electrolytes like calcium and potassium in blood so your doctor will do a physical examination to find the underlying pathology present.Add oral calcium & potassium replacement, and correction of other electrolyte abnormalities.

You can make natural energy drinks at home like this-:

Heat 1 cup of water in a pan.

Throw in 5 slices of ginger.

Boil and steep for about 5 minutes and then strain the liquid.

Add lemon juice to the solution.

Add ¼ teaspoon of unrefined salt to it.

Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of organic honey.

Mix thoroughly to dissolve the salt and honey completely. This will help blend the sweet, sour and salty flavors well.

Hope that helps
