low potassium
ad
OK, had scare last week. Was at work when my heart rate spiked and I almost passed the fuck out. Was sent to urgent care, my heart rate @ rest was 175bpm. Some I was rushed to the ER. ALL they can Muster up after blood tests is my potassium was low. My question is, could it be steroids related? I was running test e, 600mg/eleven, anadrol 50mg ed & tren e, 400 mg a week. Been dirty bulking, eating everything in site. Any help?

I had the same problem once. I drink about 2 gal of water a day. At the time it was distilled water. Flushed the sodium and potassium right out.
My opinion - nothing to do with anabolics - water and diet.
Thanks bro.. I wasn't sure but I wanted to ask
Low potassium is known to cause dysrythmias so be very careful with that. Like oldermuscle mentioned if you are using diuretics you should cut that out because those drop potassium like crazy. I don't think gear could cause this situation. Are there any other meds you are taking?
Suboxone.. That's it. No diuretics.
I could help you more if I knew how low your K was. From what your telling us it appears you would have been dehydrated.. Tachycardia, feeling lightheaded, low potassium they are all signs of dehydration. Also, a hr of 175 beats a minute at rest is unusual, unless you are using a lot of stims. This sounds more like SVT to me, did they do an ekg I hope. Anyway there are a lot of variables in this situation, but I do not think your gear was the issue unless you have been using diuretics or stims for some reason.
Yeah, they done an ekg, ran on a treadmill for stress test... all came out normal. Doc said all they found with blood work was low potassium. Not taking any stims either. That's the first thing she asked me.. And what's SVT?
RustyhookerBeen eating potassium rich foods to keep it up?
YEAH I have now... greens, bananas.
