My potassium level was 3.2 so the dr gave me liquid potassium. first time my potassium has ever shown low on bloodwork. electrophysiologist still wont see me any sooner than 2 weeks away. hr was 199 today?

If your heart rate is 199, get someone to take you the nearest emergency department of a hospital. If there is no body to take you, call an ambulance. Wish you good health!

If you have high blood pressure get tested for Primary Aldosteronism. Go to hyperaldosteronism@groups.io for more info.
