Arrhythmia can also be a symptom of potassium deficiency because it can cause heart cells to contract earlier than they normally would, resulting in an increase or decrease in heart rate. People who regularly smoke, abuse alcohol and/or drugs, take diuretics, or have digestive issues are at a...
Potassium is an important electrolyte in your body. Symptoms of Dehydration Initial symptoms of dehydration include dry lips and mouth, dry skin, increased heart rate and decreased urine output.

Changes in potassium levels are common, and overall levels increase during hospitalization. In conclusion, potassium levels at admission or its change during hospitalization are not associated with mortality after multivariate adjustment.Previous article in issue Next article in issue...
Medicines that interact with potassium chloride may either decrease its effect, affect how long it works, increase side effects, or have less of an effect when taken with potassium chloride. An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of the ...
Some "water pills" can increase potassium levels in the body. Taking some "water pills" along with potassium might cause too much potassium to be in the body. Some "water pills" that increase potassium in the body include amiloride (Midamor), spironolactone (Aldactone), and triamterene (Dyre...
