How does everyone keep their electrolytes balanced? My potassium has been low as evidenced by heart palps and shortness of breath. When I take it, those go away. However, I started feeling awful the last two days and seemed to get worse shortly after I took potassium. I started taking magnesium with it and felt better. Was thankful I could tolerate the magnesium.
Today, I still felt bad even after the magnesium. I had some chewable calcium and decided to take it. Oh wow, what a difference it made. It's like the lights came on. First time I had felt "normal" in quite a while. Evidently, my electrolytes were out of balance. I drink a lot of coconut water but it obviously isn't enough to help. Anyone have a regimen that works well? Short of being tested constantly, how do I stay in balance?
