Question: Thank you for your quick response Dr. I will do my best to stay away from hot chocolate, but can't promise it, as it's the only thing that has helped. I do not drink coffee as it tears my stomach up. I have tried coconut water but it does not give me the same result, maybe I will try coconut milk.

I am very sensitive to changes in my body and I think you are on the money thinking I'm still having symptoms when my potassium is normal. I was testing positive for pvc's at 3.4 which the Dr. said is not typical. I had a holter monitor for 48 hours. When my potassium was 2.7, the nurse said it's probably lower but they just can't see it. At the time of my admission for three days my blood pressure was 140/95 and I had a terrible headache and felt like I would die and the Dr. said that pressure isn't high either. My body is really sensitive. I forgot to say that I have had several urinalysis done and my creatinine is normal and GFR, but it always comes back high epithelial cells, sometimes with crystals and sometimes with casts. Also I've been told I had a possible uti a few times but they weren't sure because there were only a couple of markers and I didn't have any symptoms. If I take magnesium and potassium together I am bouncing off the walls like my body is starved of it.

I've had my thyroid tested so many times I can't count and it always comes back normal. Tsh is under 3 and T4 in a good range, however, my mother is hypothyroid as well as her mom and both on Synthroid.

Should I be alarmed my urine comes back cloudy?

I'm married to a paramedic and I know how to read most of the tests so that's why I'm so detailed. Plus I'm scared because I have fainted once and hit my head. One last thing, I had my aldosterone tested because the Dr. wanted to see if that was pushing my potassium out. The level came back at 10. I am sorry for so much info, I don't want to have a heart attack and die this early in my life. Cheers

My periods are normal as of now. When I fainted I had a tunnel like sensation and fell over backwards and hit my head and was then takem to the hospital. They said it wasn'ts seizure but that I was probably hyperventilating. I didn't agree with that because I don't recall having anything to hyperventilate over.

The expression, "On the money," means I believe you are more than likely correct and that it makes sense. I feel very lethargic today and no appetite. Ever since that steroid I have not felt right. It's hard to explain. Thank you Dr!
