A member asked:

Hypok vs periodic paralysis? endo tumor have fluctuations in potassium or consistently low? high vip & chromogranin, hypok, dehydration, numbness

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HypoK: If you are losing so much K consistently, you should probably be on K supplements. Overall, however, you have a complicated medical condition and you should not be getting day to day medical advice from a blog. Please see your doctor, and if necessary go to a specialty center for diagnosis or treatment.
