I am on fludrocortisone for pots. my bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) is 32 potassium 3.5 and im short of breath. what should be done?

HIGH BICARB LOW K: Your elevated serum bicarb and reduced serum potassium are due to your med - Fludrocortisone. It signals renal retention of bicarb and excretion of potassium. To remedy - consume more potassium - tomato, potato, citrus, melon, banana, strawberries, etc. Tablets also can help. Also, a bit more salt will help the bicarb retention. Salt will raise potassium excretion though. Hence eat more K.
