QUERY REGARDING POTASSIUM LEVEL
Dear sir/Madam,
My mother is 71 years old she also Diabetic,
She has recovered from minor Covid 19.
As per precautions I have done her full body checkup.
She is also taking lavera & ecosprin gold 20 from last 3.5 years.
Her Pottasium level is 3.2, Kindly suggest what medications & dose should I start to bring the level of Pottasium in normal range.
Since lower level of potassium is 3.5 you are getting worried I think. If she doesn't have signs of hypokalemia that is low potassium like muscle twitching muscle weakness abnormal heart rhythm nothing to worry. Repeat potassium after a week along with renal function test.
Next Steps
wait for a week if no symptoms of hypokalemia and repeat rft and potassium after a week
Health Tips
give her tender coconut and banana rich natural sources of potassium
