I was diagnosed with hypokalemia. The ER doctor gave me a potassium tablet and told me not to workout for 2-3 days and make sure I eat bananas and things with potassium in them. I told him I eat things with potassium in them all the time, i.e, beans, spinach, raisins, tomatoes, banana's, etc. He said nothing. I exercise everyday swimming at least a mile, usually more and bike 18 -30 miles a day. He said I sweat more out than I'm taking in. I've now been taking in potassium including a supplement and not working out and sitll feeling dizzy and tired. I also cannot fall asleep and am jolted out of falling asleep. Has anyone heard of this and does it take a while for levels to regulate?
