I decided to increase my potassium intake today due to possible methylation induced hypokalemia, from 2g a day from food to 4.5g from food today, from half a glass low sodium v8, oatmeal, baked potato, chicken, quinoa and ground beef, and lastly, 1 8 oz cup of coconut water. Everything else I had today I’ve had with no issues many times but this was my first experience with coconut water. Within 1 hour of dinner and the CW, I started feeling restless and anxious inside. As the evening went on, my feet and hands were cold and clammy, air hunger/shortness of breath, horrible anxiety/buzzing/vibrations inside, and very stimulated. This lasted 2 solid hours with a very brief period of bad nausea that lasted 30 minutes somewhere in there. Whenever I get anxious I get palpitations so I can’t really count those to this.
First, I thought I just had too much potassium (even though from food sources) and thought I was dying so I took 500mg sea salt to potentially balance the potassium but I’ve felt these symptoms before taking other stuff like ACV and a strong mint tea (oddly enough). Similar feeling, but still a bit different. Maybe it’s overmethylation but I’m only using 400mcg methylfolate and 250 methyl-B12 in my multi and took that 8 hours ago. Again, slightly different than previous overmethylation disasters. The symptoms are subsiding finally and I think I can go to bed, but has that happened to anyone else with coconut water? Thanks in advance!
