Patient's question:
Morning exercise ended, I suddenly felt short of breath, my heart felt tight, and I wanted to vomit, but couldn't. Then, I felt weak in my limbs, saw stars, and fainted, but I was conscious. The ambulance took me to the hospital for a CT brain scan, blood draw, and the results were all normal, except that my potassium was slightly low. After I received three bags of potassium supplements, they let me go home.Doctor's answer:
Yesterday after morning exercise, I suddenly felt short of breath, had low spirits, and vomited. I couldn't vomit. My limbs were weak, and I fainted. The hospital diagnosed low potassium levels. After potassium was supplemented intravenously, you sent me home. Low potassium can cause the symptoms mentioned above. The most direct and effective treatment is potassium supplementation. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise in the near future, prevent sweating, eat foods high in potassium, monitor changes in your condition, and consult the hospital if necessary.
