I shri R K Dash suffered hypokalemia two times in year 2002 &2011 with semi paralysis after admit in hospital found potassium deficiency in blood so now i take regular potklor when i feel weakness so i asked u is there any permanent solution for it
dear shri dash thanks for writing to health care magic. First of all we must be aware of the cause of hypokalemia. There are many causes associated with it and most are quite important.Taking syp potklor ,it is very important that we get a serum electrolyte(sodium,potassium,calcium) measured regularly.Please be aware that potassium if goes excess can precipitate cardiac arrhythmia. On the other hand some fruits,raw coconut water are rich in potassium as well which we can supplement if suitable.I hope sugar levels are normal. Take care. Hope this helps most welcome for further queries.
