Suggest Treatment For Hyperkalemia
Our daughter has an elevated potassium (no number given), but she has felt tingling in her hands, has an irregular heart rhythm, and recently blacked out . Could this be Hyperkalemia? Only once when she broke her wrist (age 14) the physician pressed on the pressure point, after removing her cast. She passed out, and convulsed. Nothing since. No other related issues.

Hello,
Hyperaemia is a dangerous problem especially if she has abnormal heart rhythm.
If you can upload the value and the EKG, I would give my opinion? Does she have any kidney disease?
She should see a doctor and have investigations and treatment. In the meantime she should keep off fruits and fruit juices which are rich in Potassium.
