Question 1

experience heat coming out of my left leg, what goingon?

Accepted Answer

Vague: This is a very vague complaint.  What do you mean by "heat coming out"? And what part of your leg?  Is there any change in the color of the skin over the leg? Is it swollen? Can someone else see a difference between the two legs, or is just something that you feel? There are many possibilities, but doctors will need to know any associated symptom(s) and the nature of onset to narrow down the cause.

Question 5

why do i get very hot when my pottassium  gets low? burning up hot, leg feel hot but when you touch them they don;t. like the heat is coming from inside out.

Accepted Answer

It : It is interesting that you are that perceptive of your potassium being low; most patients are not.  Classic symptoms of low potassium are weakness, cramping, or nausea.  As you know, low potassium (hypokalemia) can be very serious and can cause problems with the heart rhythm in severe instances.  Low potassium can be caused by low potassium intake in the diet, medications, and sometimes we don't know why patients have low potassium.    If you think your potassium is low please have it checked medically.

Question 6

hey i have a rash on my leg my dr said it was just heat but it is still there after 8 weeks but he keep saying it is fine do you think i should go and get a second opinion

Accepted Answer

: A rash that has not gone away for 8 weeks definitely needs a second opinion. You should see a skin doctor (dermatologist) to get the rash properly diagnosed and treated. The skin doctor will also be able to tell you if what you have now is just scarring from the original rash. Best of luck to you-hope you feel better real soon!

Hydrate: Yourself, replenish electrolytes if we're sweating. Try eating a banana to get some potassium. If symptoms persist consult your doc.
