A member asked:
I keep having this thought of losing my electrolytes and dying if i dont consume enough any sodium, potassium, etc. everyday, am i experiencing health anxiety or something else potentially?

Obsessive fear?: If you are a healthy 26 year old who has not had problems with electrolyte disturbances and you are plagued by this fear- it might be reality based. If that is the case, psychotherapy (especially cognitive behavioral therapy) may be helpful.
