I was in the ER 2 times in the past 3 years for wildly
erratic heartbeat (I’m 80) diagnosed as serious
arrhythmia until I learned it was (for me anyway) simply due
to very low potassium!
First time, IV potassium drip.
Second time, I said I bet it’s a potassium lack. They did
a blood test and offered me a glass of liquid potassium
(Avoid that! Yuk!)
My Nurse Practitioner who is my Primary (Allowed in Maine)
tested my heart again and we decided being more careful of
diet and supplements would be enough.
Now, if my heart has a hint of getting out of hand, I eat
some potassium-laden foods and pop a potassium pill., and 2
glasses of water. End of problem within an hour.
Ordinary salt substitute has potassium instead of sodium.
Even if you are not on a low salt diet, it is very good for
everybody. When your kidneys dump excess sodium, they can't
help but waste some of your potassium, also. So, the more
salted food you eat, the lower your potassium levels tend to
be, unless you replace it.
You can also buy so called salt balance (which is a blend of
sodium and potassium salt) But I just dump one of the little
salt substitute containers into the salt box, once I have
filled a shaker to make room.
