Is it good to take some cream of tartar to supplement potassium. Thomas delauer had mentioned it. Also, can you make one video on all the different test one can go for one routine health check up to check out if everything is functioning properly and to catch any disease in the initial stages. I am asking it in context of my parents in late 60s.
Also, if there are tests which has to be taken by specific age groups and tests which are generally applicable to all the age groups to determine any medical conditions during a routine medical check up
This is a lot of useful information 😊❤👍which is we know from before it thanks to you Dr.Berg...I personally always focus on my kidney and liver function....have a question Dr.Berg maybe you can do a video on *who needs to do Kidney flush * God Bless on helping humanity 🙏 to educate themselves on their health
OMG, thank you so much Dr Berg.!!! My mother got Hyperkalemia but also with diabetes. This video can help me on preparing a better meal for her. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love your products and videos!!
Interesting, I was actually looking into potassium today and I don't know how someone ever could get hyperkalemia because nobody ever could get the 3,5 grams/day that's recommended. Even the most rich foods of potassium still would require you to almost eat a kilo of the stuff. But I've seen this video, that makes sense.

I have Potassium levels of 5.19. No kidney disease, no Addison's, no Hypertension or Diabetes. Not taking any medicines for long. Don't even cosume high potassium foods a lot. After several tests, still cannot get any explanation on why. I have been told about PseudoHyperkalemia but then my Potassium levels were very similar(5.12) when I took the test few years ago. So it is not just one time.
Same with me. I'm working it its the way my blood work was taken bit ahe did hurt me and left a big mark. Im always a difficult pole and Dr. Breguet said if the blof was damaged in any way it could take it read as if the potassium is high. Do you remember anything unusual when you got your blood drawn?
@@DivaDen Its been a while so don't remember exactly. I was quite tense and walked a whole lot before taking the test and also had very high heart rate as I was kind of panicking. That's all I remember. But that was due to stress and stuff. Rest all tests related to cardiology came fine. My cousin is a Cardiologist and she said there is nothing to worry. Sometimes there is no reason as such. Some people are just born with little higher levels. She ruled out metabolic acidosis as well.

Great information. Is it possible to have high Potasium in the blood, but normal level in the cells? Meaning, that the Dr. will recommend on treatment that is not neccesary and can cause harm. Is there any kit that one can check the Potassium levels INSIDE the cells? Thank you.
Dr. A very close friend, whom has passed away. She also was a marijuana user. Before flying overseas, she has a physical and blood work done. Her potassium levels were very high. Having never had high potassium levels before, she was convinced it's was the new potent weed she was smoking. So she stopped smoking the weed for a few days, had a new potassium test and it came back perfect! I bring this up because so many are smoking weed today could this fact cause high potassium??
@@majorlionzion To be clear, my friend passed away from cancer! I spoke to my doctor about potassium levels and the blood work she had and my doctor told or me that when you have blood work done, they don't check for marijuana in your blood. So it's possible the marijuana caused the high potassium levels.
Hello Dr. Berg! Been following you for a while but missed this video. My mother has hyperkalemia but she thinks her arrhythmias are just bad cardiovascular genetics in our family. She is 55 and a pharmacist. Obviously, she tries to treat herself with pharma (heart medicine, powdered magnesium and vitamin pills) but to no avail and she is just getting worse over the years. She also has terrible leg cramps, especially in the evening. A year ago she was hospitalized because of mineral deficiency in her blood (after an evening with a bottle of vine) and got a system infusion and she got better for a while. So many things correlate with this video it's crazy! I told her to get in at least 1 juiced lemon a day, would it help her or what should an optimal health boost look like? She's not obese but neither athletic, constantly tired so she can't do intense workouts, her physical activity is mostly walking and occasional low-intensity aerobics. She still believes you need to drink 2liters of water a day and that dietary cholesterol is bad... I'm trying to educate her on this but it's a bit like talking to a wall because she believes she and family doctors, multimedia trending dietitians are smarter in health questions. And starts to believe otherwise only if she hears something reinforcing my claims on tv or reads it in the local newspaper/magazine.
trauma is a big reason, any mod to severe tissue damage like burns, crush injuries or car accident etc can cause electrolyte imbalances that you need to have medically addressed
@Dr. Eric Berg Thanks so much for the video. Do you have any dietary advice for someone with potassium slightly high? (5.7 mmol/L) .. other liver/potassium tests were in ref range: from lowest to highest were Creatinine, BUN followed by Chloride, Sodium and CO2 at the top of ref range... might eliminating sugar or regularly fasting dinner to lunch and cutting out snacks allow the kidneys to do a better job ridding the body of excess potassium? Or should i cut out high potassium foods? I'm vegetarian and eat many high potassium foods such as potatoes, bananas, prunes, spinach and various beans. for planning a potassium blood re-test, is there any special way i should eat or not eat before the next blood test to help check if I have a serious problem?
Likewise. I tested at 5.6 mmol/L My kidney & liver function were fine on the blood test. I was getting chest pains which is a symptom associated with Hyperkalemia. It's since cooled off since I've reduced the potassium in my blood. I was feeling extreme stress and anxiety that month so the chest pain could've very well been from something else. The doctor prescribed me Sodium Polystyrene Sulfanate a week later, then had me come for more blood screening the day after taking SPS. The day after taking SPS, my levels were at 3.9 mmol/L. A week later my level is at 4.5 mmol/L. I got the levels back to normal through a combination of dieting and fasting. I also added magnesium and zinc since I (and most people) are deficient of those minerals. My Doctor told me he believes it was diet related, but I'd like to undergo a deeper battery of tests if possible. In my case I believe the culprit might've been eating/drinking too much junk (I was downing lots of orange juice, lemonade, and other sugary fruity drinks high in potassium) and partying a bit too hard on the alcohol. It could be an Acute problem with the kidneys in all of our cases too where for whatever it wasn't dumping potassium fast enough during that period, before it got back to functioning like normal. Very well could've been false reading in our cases as well, as I hear it's VERY common depending on how the blood is drawn, how the blood is handled, or if it takes too long from the time of the blood being drawn to the time the samples are being tested. The important thing is to keep up with the dieting and making sure to test as often as needed.

Thank you for the amazing video dr. Berg. I would like to know what test is called to know how much potassium in the cell? I can’t find the link 😢 Thank you ❤
Thank you for this helpful information. You mentioned there is a test to determine how much potassium is actually in the cell. I don’t see the link you said you would provide. Would you mind sharing this information. Thank you!
Thanks Dr Berg. I take potassium supplements , magnesium, Benfotiamine for my neuropathy. Now my BP is sky high at 20/10 and doctor gives me medication , a combination of a bèta blocker and a diuretic. I raised my potassium intake by food and by supplementing. Because I thought potassium lowers BP. Now you say potassium can increase BP and can be harmful if high BP. What should I do ?
🤔Tell your Doctor and get advice on what would you need to be supplementing with. Dr Berg is not a MD so won't advise you and MD's won't advise you on UA-cam comments anyway. Have your Doctor send you to the Lab for Blood Work.
Dr Berg. Hello. I have been looking to your presentations to find out what foods can be eaten when someone has hyperkalemia . I am confused by the foods that are listed as bad (in my search), and there is a sense of 'there is no food that is good'. I see starvation ahead because all of the foods that are good to maintain a healthy body, have potassium. Please help my stressful diet. I am in Jamaica.
He said it's less from diet and instead caused by other things... It could be NSAIDs or High Blood pressure medicine. My mom has Hyperkalemia and also high blood pressure. Her doc had her stop some of the high blood pressure medicine and it reduced... Maybe watch the video again to get some other ideas -- like the sodium bicarbonate. I hope you find something to help.
That does not mean it is high for you on the keto diet. Your eGFR's probably went down some as well. Panels should reflect the person and the diet that they're on at the time. Hopefully you're feeling well.
I just had my labs done before my hernia repair and this is the first time I've ever had slightly higher potassium levels. I'm wondering if it is the pseudo one.
Hay Dr berg or Dr berg supporting team I have Question, Who can eat carb ? Does carb for then people normal ? Note that : Carb i mean the natural healthy carb like fruits or Legumes.
I've been taking your electrolyte powder daily. I was just prescribed 12.5 mg of Losartan. It says not to take potassium supplements, so I guess I'll have to discontinue the electrolyte powder for the time being.
Hello sir, i have been seeing ur videos, its very knowledgeable to me thank u for explaining things neatly. Sir a week back i had blood test were my potassium levels are 5.56, and my creataine levels and calcium n other urine urea is all normal sir, now my question is what should i do to bring my potassium levels to normal, or does this leads to something else in future, but im having vomiting sensation and giddiness,.
Thank u sir, Sir im having giddines, i have started walking also from 2 days while im walking also i feel that giddines, do i have to check with the sugar levels....
My 17 year old daughter whom is active (in wrestling) but is very petite, and always had issues with heart palps/anxiety… has just been told by her doctor that she has high cholesterol & high potassium and to stay away from bananas & beans. Should this be concerning to me? And if so, can you point us in the right direction to healing.
I was drinking your Dr Berg electrolyte powder, and that caused significant heart palpitations. I went to a cardiologist and they determined it was from your product. I stopped taking and went off keto and the palpitations went away.
i take low dose beta blockers for high heart rate for unknown reasons. i want to take more potassium but im afraid to bcos beta blockers are apparently supposed to elevate the levels. i thought low potassium could be the cause of my heart palps but idk if i should try it if im also on beta blockers

I wish it were that easy. Unfortunately despite taking between 800-1600 mg a day and eating potassium rich food and a low sodium diet I’m having hypokalemia. It’s awful. I can’t get a doctor to help me figure it out. The symptoms leave me feeling terrible. I’m hoping to find some answers.
@@loriunderwood1830 could it be something else? The vast majority of the world are surviving on about 1/5 of their daily potassium needs without symptoms. 🤷🏽♀️
@@rachkate76 it’s really weird. If I eat too much salt (more than 1,500 mg) then I start getting low potassium symptoms. I take some potassium and then it goes away. Hoping that someone has experienced this or Dr Berg can help.
So my doctor drew my blood and told me my Potassium was a little high and to stop taking my Potassium supplement and watch what Potassium rich food i eat sounds like they shouldnt have done that just off of 1 blood test
I am a little bit lost on this video because my heart flutters sometimes with the funny heartbeat.. so I want to know should I continue taking your electrolyte powder or should I just stop taking it.. cus electrolyte powder have a lot of potassium in it...
@mike maldonado not at all.. the main food what I eat is chicken and pasta I too much don't eat nothing else besides that.. and I know something is wrong cuz are we few hours my heart flutter.. and my breathing is off
@@robertbutlerr3467 I have similar symptoms I got told I have silent GERD and they put me in PPIs for 6 weeks then get an endoscopy to see how much narrowing has occurred. I took them reluctantly for 9 days then stopped- the side effects were horrible. I’m probably doing more damage when I eat tho. At 3am when not hungry I can randomly get stomach acid triggered then have to sit up for a while. My airway has narrowed a lot to the point where I went to emergency a month ago then had hoarseness and stridor which I still have now upon breathing out through my nose. Do you have this? It’s super frustrating to not be able to breathe out properly- my abdomen now protrudes significantly and feels full of carbon dioxide I can’t remove with normal breathing. It’s making exercise impossible.
@@rachkate76 yes I have some of your problems.. and I was actually in the hospital for a week due to the Papa Tatian abnormal heartbeat.. but best believe imma step up my game and thank you so much but your concern
I've been on KETO for a while, I eat the same thing everyday-one a day. I recently started to feel light-headed throughout the day but not dizzy. Do you think it might be due to low iron? I take a multivitamin as well.
Dr . Berg has a video a bout light -head sensations , I have had the same problem sometimes and drinking a glass of water mixed with 2tbls of apple cider vinegar and some Himalayan salt helped or take some electrolyte powder
@@awazsulaiman6852 he’s eating the same thing every day- he could have nutritional deficiencies for all we know. It’s irresponsible to pretend ACV is a cure all for everything. He needs to go get an accurate blood test done and reconsider his diet- he could be deficient in a number of things. ACV and salt as a solution to what is likely a bigger problem is just suggesting that he delay the inevitable.
It sounds like dehydration on Amazon get Test Urinox 10 dr berg has video on dehydration he says check anti gravity test and I think he said if it is1.010 you are mildly dehydrated. I had this problem after 4 years on keto for me I would wake up with dry mouth and headache, but many get dizzy. It takes 4 weeks to restore by adding water and experimenting with sufficient electrolytes. Takes work
Hi. .Doc...I have been doing the intermittent fasting from January. .very often my weight gets stagnant . ..I am at the 16 to 18 hrs fast...which means I have lunch at 12...and dinner at 6...please advise...I need Help...I have thyroid
When the cell is damaged releasing the potassium into the bloodstream....could we be observing the body recycling the desperately needed potassium back into the operating system?
DR. Eric Berg DC I've just seen the health warning on Hymalain salt . High levels of aluminium . Calcium and lead.. I think this should be a subject of discussion .
Of the last six blood tests, five potassium levels were 5.0 to 5.3. My doctor blew me off. Six weeks ago I had an arrhythmia from a brain freeze while drinking a cold drink too fast. It left me with either Afib or heavy palpitations. Am now wearing a heart monitor. Have to wonder about my 5.1 potassium level which is what it has been since I had the arrhythmia which I reduced with the Valsalva maneuver. I had my magnesium tested and it was right in the middle for both serum and red blood cell.
@@patriciaalexander919 Turns out I went into Atria Firbrillation when I had that brain freeze. My esophagus must have triggered a nerve in the atrium. I had to get cardioinverted. Thankfully it worked on the first attempt! I feel so much better now!

Likewise. I tested at 5.6 mmol/L My kidney & liver function were fine on the blood test. I was getting chest pains which is a symptom associated with Hyperkalemia. It's since cooled off since I've reduced the potassium in my blood. I was feeling extreme stress and anxiety that month so the chest pain could've very well been from something else.
The doctor prescribed me Sodium Polystyrene Sulfanate a week later, then had me come for more blood screening the day after taking SPS. The day after taking SPS, my levels were at 3.9 mmol/L. A week later my level is at 4.5 mmol/L. I got the levels back to normal through a combination of dieting and fasting. I also added magnesium and zinc since I (and most people) are deficient of those minerals. My Doctor told me he believes it was diet related, but I'd like to undergo a deeper battery of tests if possible. In my case I believe the culprit might've been eating/drinking too much junk (I was downing lots of orange juice, lemonade, and other sugary fruity drinks high in potassium) and partying a bit too hard on the alcohol.
It could be an Acute problem with the kidneys in all of our cases too where for whatever it wasn't dumping potassium fast enough during that period, before it got back to functioning like normal. Very well could've been false reading in our cases as well, as I hear it's VERY common depending on how the blood is drawn, how the blood is handled, or if it takes too long from the time of the blood being drawn to the time the samples are being tested. The important thing is to keep up with the dieting and making sure to test as often as needed.
Thanks Dr, waiting every video 💜
Awesome Dr Berg ✌️
Helpful information, thank you for sharing 🙏
Very glad to be of help.
Potassium does work for afib. I use it for that.
potassiunm 5.5 (serum) in Emergency was administsred insulin iv and was getting better in terms of normalising the heart rithm ... any advice ? creatinine 1.37, egfr: 64... th t4 normal
Thank you for the amazing video dr. Berg. I would like to know what test is called to know how much potassium in the cell? I can’t find the link 😢 Thank you ❤
Thank you for this helpful information. You mentioned there is a test to determine how much potassium is actually in the cell. I don’t see the link you said you would provide. Would you mind sharing this information. Thank you!
Can you smoke weed when water fasting for 30-40 days?
Weed doesn't spike your insulin so i guess the answer is yes 😝
See how you feel?
😂
Probably better to do “edibles” in the form of pure weed-butter while 30-40 day water fasting … definitely keto 😉 and won’t raise insulin

Does medication would not be good to?
Thanks Dr Berg. I take potassium supplements , magnesium, Benfotiamine for my neuropathy. Now my BP is sky high at 20/10 and doctor gives me medication , a combination of a bèta blocker and a diuretic. I raised my potassium intake by food and by supplementing. Because I thought potassium lowers BP. Now you say potassium can increase BP and can be harmful if high BP. What should I do ?
🤔Tell your Doctor and get advice on what would you need to be supplementing with. Dr Berg is not a MD so won't advise you and MD's won't advise you on UA-cam comments anyway. Have your Doctor send you to the Lab for Blood Work.
@@KETO_DIET I did ! A little high on potassium. So quit taking supplement.
Dr Berg. Hello. I have been looking to your presentations to find out what foods can be eaten when someone has hyperkalemia . I am confused by the foods that are listed as bad (in my search), and there is a sense of 'there is no food that is good'. I see starvation ahead because all of the foods that are good to maintain a healthy body, have potassium. Please help my stressful diet. I am in Jamaica.
He said it's less from diet and instead caused by other things... It could be NSAIDs or High Blood pressure medicine. My mom has Hyperkalemia and also high blood pressure. Her doc had her stop some of the high blood pressure medicine and it reduced... Maybe watch the video again to get some other ideas -- like the sodium bicarbonate. I hope you find something to help.
It can cause:👍
Muscle fatigue.
Weakness.
Paralysis.
Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
Nausea.

@@Drberg thank you
Somehow my potassium has gone up to 5.2 on keto :-/ It was 4.1 when I was tested before.
Same here
@ candle how is your potassium level now?
That does not mean it is high for you on the keto diet. Your eGFR's probably went down some as well. Panels should reflect the person and the diet that they're on at the time. Hopefully you're feeling well.
Dr Berg, can you please explain why B12 injections causes acne? I depend on the injections but the acne that it causes is awful

Can you please make a video on Finasteride used as DHT blocker
Your videos are very useful and practical. Thanks.
This can occur with types of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) or NCCAH.
I've been taking your electrolyte powder daily. I was just prescribed 12.5 mg of Losartan. It says not to take potassium supplements, so I guess I'll have to discontinue the electrolyte powder for the time being.
Hello sir, i have been seeing ur videos, its very knowledgeable to me thank u for explaining things neatly. Sir a week back i had blood test were my potassium levels are 5.56, and my creataine levels and calcium n other urine urea is all normal sir, now my question is what should i do to bring my potassium levels to normal, or does this leads to something else in future, but im having vomiting sensation and giddiness,.
eat less potassium
Thank u sir, Sir im having giddines, i have started walking also from 2 days while im walking also i feel that giddines, do i have to check with the sugar levels....
@sony how are you feeling now?

My 17 year old daughter whom is active (in wrestling) but is very petite, and always had issues with heart palps/anxiety… has just been told by her doctor that she has high cholesterol & high potassium and to stay away from bananas & beans.
Should this be concerning to me? And if so, can you point us in the right direction to healing.
I was drinking your Dr Berg electrolyte powder, and that caused significant heart palpitations. I went to a cardiologist and they determined it was from your product. I stopped taking and went off keto and the palpitations went away.
Too much potassium intake cause abnormal heart rhythm
If your taking too much might be the issue or if you have some individual problem. Just stop with the formula.
Did you do keto for health problems? Or youre ok?
Does keto diet cause high potasium???? 🤔
@brad b same here I’m having palpitations and I’m tired. Scared to sleep at night. I’m going to stop taking it
should I be taking potassium citrate or potassium gluconate?
Thank you
i take low dose beta blockers for high heart rate for unknown reasons. i want to take more potassium but im afraid to bcos beta blockers are apparently supposed to elevate the levels. i thought low potassium could be the cause of my heart palps but idk if i should try it if im also on beta blockers
Thanks dr. Berge, very helpful explanation
Glad it was helpful!
Sir my muscle power is weak from child hood please describe supplements or medicine for increase muscle power
I have Addison’s disease, so are you saying I should not take any potassium?
I'm got a elavated level borderline pottasium
Please make video on muscle power mechanism
Thanks for this useful information.
DR BERG YOU DIDNT SAY HOW TO LOWER POTASSIUM?😮
Don’t take it and drink too much water and increase sodium 😂
Yes he did. Treatment is smack in the middle of the damn board.
He said to drink baking soda water also he said the kidneys can filter out high levels of potassium
My father in-law has high potassium. How can he lower his potassium as he is a diabetic & he has kidney disease (only 1 kidney)
Hey Doc....When will your Electrolyte powder be back in stock?
I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH HIGH POTASSIUM. I TAKE NAC, NATTOKINASE AND BERBERINE, VITD K2, VIT C, VIT B COMPEX COD LIVER OIL, COULD ANY OF THESE BE CAUSING IT PLEASE ADVISE THANKYOU

So if I do a super potassium green blended smoothie drink, worse case scenario is just peeing a lot?
How do you fix hypokalemia?
Up your potassium.
I wish it were that easy. Unfortunately despite taking between 800-1600 mg a day and eating potassium rich food and a low sodium diet I’m having hypokalemia. It’s awful. I can’t get a doctor to help me figure it out. The symptoms leave me feeling terrible. I’m hoping to find some answers.
@@loriunderwood1830 could it be something else?
The vast majority of the world are surviving on about 1/5 of their daily potassium needs without symptoms. 🤷🏽♀️
@@rachkate76 it’s really weird. If I eat too much salt (more than 1,500 mg) then I start getting low potassium symptoms. I take some potassium and then it goes away. Hoping that someone has experienced this or Dr Berg can help.

So my doctor drew my blood and told me my Potassium was a little high and to stop taking my Potassium supplement and watch what Potassium rich food i eat sounds like they shouldnt have done that just off of 1 blood test
Link for info about test?
I am a little bit lost on this video because my heart flutters sometimes with the funny heartbeat.. so I want to know should I continue taking your electrolyte powder or should I just stop taking it.. cus electrolyte powder have a lot of potassium in it...
@mike maldonado not at all.. the main food what I eat is chicken and pasta I too much don't eat nothing else besides that.. and I know something is wrong cuz are we few hours my heart flutter.. and my breathing is off
@@robertbutlerr3467 I have similar symptoms I got told I have silent GERD and they put me in PPIs for 6 weeks then get an endoscopy to see how much narrowing has occurred.
I took them reluctantly for 9 days then stopped- the side effects were horrible.
I’m probably doing more damage when I eat tho.
At 3am when not hungry I can randomly get stomach acid triggered then have to sit up for a while.
My airway has narrowed a lot to the point where I went to emergency a month ago then had hoarseness and stridor which I still have now upon breathing out through my nose.
Do you have this?
It’s super frustrating to not be able to breathe out properly- my abdomen now protrudes significantly and feels full of carbon dioxide I can’t remove with normal breathing.
It’s making exercise impossible.

What if its a hair test showing high potassium? Is that a good indicator?
Very interesting!
Thank You Dr Berg!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What does is it mean if your patassuim blood test says canceled
I've been on KETO for a while, I eat the same thing everyday-one a day. I recently started to feel light-headed throughout the day but not dizzy. Do you think it might be due to low iron? I take a multivitamin as well.
Several things could cause it- a blood test would be wise rather than just assuming iron.
Silmar why do you eat the same thing everyday?
Dr . Berg has a video a bout light -head sensations , I have had the same problem sometimes and drinking a glass of water mixed with 2tbls of apple cider vinegar and some Himalayan salt helped or take some electrolyte powder
@@awazsulaiman6852 he’s eating the same thing every day- he could have nutritional deficiencies for all we know.
It’s irresponsible to pretend ACV is a cure all for everything.
He needs to go get an accurate blood test done and reconsider his diet- he could be deficient in a number of things.
ACV and salt as a solution to what is likely a bigger problem is just suggesting that he delay the inevitable.
It sounds like dehydration on Amazon get Test Urinox 10 dr berg has video on dehydration he says check anti gravity test and I think he said if it is1.010 you are mildly dehydrated. I had this problem after 4 years on keto for me I would wake up with dry mouth and headache, but many get dizzy. It takes 4 weeks to restore by adding water and experimenting with sufficient electrolytes. Takes work
Can we not order the test ourselves and take it to a local lab?
Hi. .Doc...I have been doing the intermittent fasting from January. .very often my weight gets stagnant . ..I am at the 16 to 18 hrs fast...which means I have lunch at 12...and dinner at 6...please advise...I need Help...I have thyroid
Please do a video on beta amyloid and supplements to combat it
When the cell is damaged releasing the potassium into the bloodstream....could we be observing the body recycling the desperately needed potassium back into the operating system?
I think that’s exactly what he meant by pseudohyperkaleimia.

High levels of aluminium . Calcium and lead..

Not high levels, just trace amounts.

Of the last six blood tests, five potassium levels were 5.0 to 5.3. My doctor blew me off. Six weeks ago I had an arrhythmia from a brain freeze while drinking a cold drink too fast. It left me with either Afib or heavy palpitations. Am now wearing a heart monitor. Have to wonder about my 5.1 potassium level which is what it has been since I had the arrhythmia which I reduced with the Valsalva maneuver. I had my magnesium tested and it was right in the middle for both serum and red blood cell.
5.1 isn't high at all, nist symptoms don't appear until levels are greater than 6. Most doctors won't treat anything less than 5.5.
@@maddawgzzzz Thanks!
How is your arrhythmia now? I had this 4 months ago and started back on my K2 supplement and it is almost gone.
@@patriciaalexander919 Turns out I went into Atria Firbrillation when I had that brain freeze. My esophagus must have triggered a nerve in the atrium. I had to get cardioinverted. Thankfully it worked on the first attempt! I feel so much better now!
under 5.5 is never a matter of concern.
Hi, started taking k2 mk7 45mcg January 2020, after video, had blood test one month ago potassium was high, dr concerned. Stopped taking, Rechecking blood today., if potassium mostly in cell, and not in blood, wondering what your opinion is. Thanks

So what would happen if I'm eating foods high in Potassium and supplement with 1000mg of Potassium Nitrate per day, plus be taking 500mg to 1000mg of NSAIDs per day for a week for an injury and then start taking Lisinopril? ANSWER: A heart attack three days later. But the "doctors" balk at me. I'm crazy. Potassium has nothing to do with Lisinopril. QUACKS!!!
