I thought it was a one time thing, but it has not gone away. Sometimes I will be sipping Water, watching TV or checking out VST and my heart is racing. Has this happened to anyone or have I missed it on the forum?

Thanks

Used to happen to me all the time when I ate too fast or too much. Doesn't much anymore. It scares me, I don't even know if it's safe to take any uppers or drink energy drinks.< /p>

Meggs - my potassium actually is low, I have been taking extra potassium for about 6 weeks now. I was at 3.5 and I think 3.8 is the low end. Heck did not know this is a symptom or result? Thank you, I will be talking with PCP on Monday as I just had blood test to check this on Thursday.

Sprinkle a serving size or less of No Salt (Potassium Salt) in 33 oz of Water every few days.

Putasleeveonit, that is interesting. I will look for that salt, but not sure I could stomach just drinking salt Water? Do you taste it? Did you have low potassium and have your heart race randomly?

I have Atrial Fibrulation. You need to get tested by a Doc. I had this happen, was put in the hospital for one night/day, where the rapid heartbeat was inverted. I was then given Beta blockers (which I will have to take forever) to keep my hart rate even. Sometimes low magnesium can cause this too. Do not hesitate to have this checked out, your heart can throw a blood clot from this problem, and you don't want that.

3.5-5.3 is normal. But since you are on the low end the dr. May want you on a low dose of potassium. And yes low magnesium as well as low Calcium can result in this. So can hyperthyroidism and many other conditions. You need to speak with your Dr. About it asap. Best wishes!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
