A member asked:

How would someone with mild acidosis from diamox feel? what symptoms? every time i take diamox for pseudtumour cerebri i feel like im dying.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diamox: Even though it's considered a mild diuretic, diamox may lower serum potassium and induce mild dehydration. Have you had your blood pressure, serum potassium, bun and creatinine checked after taking diamox? Perhaps taking a potassium supplement would help when you take diamox.
