I'm carnivore and don't eat carbs at all. ZERO carbs. Recently, I was sick with a virus. Just before, what I thought was full recovery, I became very weak. I suddenly needed sugar. I ate three packets of sugar and a Snickers Bar and soon felt better. When I got home, I ate two bowls of icecream. The next day, I was still a little weak so I had a small bowl of icecream and a prtein shake. Less than an hour later, I was in the Emergency Room. There, I was given three IV bags and two big Potassium pills. I was told that my Potassium was low, which I found strange because I salt my meat with a 50/50 blend of NaCl and Potassium Citrate. I actually had an electrlyte drink that morning. My discharge papers say Accute Respiratory Alkalosis but I can't help but think that it was more due to my etreme insulin sensitivity and my sugar intake. I wasn't haveing diarrhea and only vomited once.
I have suffered with hypokalemia for over ten years. No explanation. Then recently I was diagnosed with low uric acid as a cause for kidney stones. Wondering is there any connection I need to look into with my doctor..?? Thank u.
Potassium Chloride = Hypokalemia + Metabolic alkalosis. Potassium Bicarbonate = Hypokalemia + Metabolic acidosis It can be taken orally or intravenous depending on the severity.
Im joy rivera from Philippines my brother diagnosed hypokalimia sir. His potassium level becomes 140 what we should do sir to make it normal put it normal level ?? Everytime he ate small amount of food he attempts to vomit and suffer uf tummy pain
I'm confused, Metabolic Alkalosis is low H+ in serum; how would hypokalemia causing H+ to move out of the cell into the blood cause a low H+ in serum? are the kidneys converting it to bicarb and excreting it. this video made me more confused.
In metabolic alkalosis, there is not enough H+ in serum. The body tries to compensate by removing H+ from the cell into the serum. But this changes the electrical gradient by moving the positively charged H+ out of the cell, lowering the net level of positive charges in the cell. The body wants the same balance as normal. So, it compensates by bringing more K+ into the cell to bring more positive charges into the cell. So, alkalosis causes the H+ to move out of the cell, which contributes to getting hypokalemia in the serum.
The opposite is true in Metabolic Acidosis such as renal failure when you cannot excrete the H+ and K+. The H+ moves from the serum into the cell, which causes K+ to be kicked out. This worsens hyperkalemia. Increased K+ stimulates aldosterone (RAAS system), which leads to the reabsorption of sodium, and subsequently water. But if a person is in Metabolic Alkalosis from loss of electrolytes and fluid (like from diarrhea, vomiting, nasal suction), the hypokalemia can worsen. It seems like it is because of diarrhea, vomiting, or sucking it out, but the loss of sodium and fluid actually stimulates the RAAS system, which increases Aldosterone. The Aldosterone leads to the reabsorption of sodium, and subsequently water. This worsens hypokalemia.
Dear doctor or any expert who knows about Hypokalemia. There is a particular method of breathing called Wim Hof breathing which makes your body alkalosis and low carbon di oxide (afaik). If I do Wim Hof will it occur in Hypokalemia or will it benefit me? Thank You.
That is a great great video. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much. You explained this perfectly.

Excellent thanks

How does the body deal with metabolic alkalosis? Do you need to take potassium orally to compensation for the potassium loss for metabolic alkalosis?
Potassium Chloride = Hypokalemia + Metabolic alkalosis.
Potassium Bicarbonate = Hypokalemia + Metabolic acidosis
It can be taken orally or intravenous depending on the severity.
@@drandrasfazakas I need help please
@@drandrasfazakas mine is severe
Thank you!
Thank you very much sirr
Im joy rivera from Philippines my brother diagnosed hypokalimia sir. His potassium level becomes 140 what we should do sir to make it normal put it normal level ?? Everytime he ate small amount of food he attempts to vomit and suffer uf tummy pain
You have explained this so very well! Just awesome!
Thanks doctor, It was summary of the big chapter in the 10 minutes👌🏻👌🏻
Best Explanation ever seen on this topic, on point and precise! Thank you!!!
I'm have been taking acid meds for years as have much acid but Dr thinks the meds cause higher pottasium
Thank you ♥️ this video is amazing
I have to have acid meds and I produce to much and my pottasium is up

How do you heal this
Thank you for breaking this down into an easy to understand context.
Great job, thanks!!
Thanks alot sir.....♥️♥️♥️
Sir this helped me a lot u r wonderful
Thank you so much sir.Your videos helped me so much.

This is wonderful. Thanks very much sir
You are just incredible 🌹
What are the effects to our health if there is too little potassium in our cells, instead of our blood?
@Eleonore Leopardi Thanks
Sir good morning
👍👍👍
Sir, I m Indian Medical student....
I m very impressed to see your simplification strategy of this type of topics🤩
Keep it up sir🙏🏻👍🏻
fuck you india why you kill muslium are you carzy??
Amazing!!!!
Thank you so much!
How to check whether our body Acidosis or Alkalonosis
ABGs😐
Do you mean if we have Alklosis then we have hypokalemia on cellular level and hyperkalemia on the blood level....
in which part of the body, do all these take place? I thought it was just the kidneys, am i wrong?
amaaaazzzziinnnngg.. this is the answer of exactly what i was looking for
Great 👍👍👍
How to check whether our body Acidosis or Alkalonosis
Awesome
are you Swedish
Haha undra samma, Låter som typiskt svensk dialekt på engelskan :)
lol thank you so much I have been trying to understand how this works.
your english is so clear and easy to understand
