High potassium
My mother had an hearh attack last year in oct and after that one stent was placed and everything was working fine . Then doc changed the medicine in Jan before that her potassium was 4.4 and now it raises to 5.8. now the doc had again changed the medicine which has low potassium content and asked to again do the test for 5 days but she is having back pain and difficulty in sleeping. Could you please let me know if by changing medicine it can be cured .
