No probs, we’re all looking for the right road off this roundabout!

The only time a blood test has shown ‘below-normal’ Potassium, has been while I’ve been on Diamox and my Bicarb was low too (Bicarb’s been relatively low most of the time I’ve been on Diamox but I think that’s how it works). Unfortunately on this occasion, nothing else was tested. When I was suffering the symptoms like yours, on the very few times I was tested, my potassium was low but ‘within normal range’, it didn’t make sense.

Thanks for the tip on coconut water, I was drinking it at one time, I don’t know why I stopped.
