**WARNING*** DONT DRINK PLAIN WATER ONLY. some of you know ive been having dizzy spells over the past few months. been to the ER where they told me nothing was wrong and sent me home. well a week later i was dizzy again, yesterday got really bad i had to leave work and go back to the dr. i guess it depends on who the dr is because this dr not only read my labs from the ER, but told me it popped up clearly my potassium levels are very low hummmmmmmmm the ER dr just sent me on my way, and the cold part is he didnt even send the results to my primary dr, member services will be contacted. so what i put together after my visit is 1. my bp meds is a water pill. 2. i drink more than a gallon of water daily, **note** i only drink water occasionally coffee or tea , but only plain water, so this morning god spoke to me, yes god for the believers. said drink some gatorade along with the potassium pills i was prescribed. so i am on my way to the store now to get some and add it to my water intake. be careful dont just drink plain water especially if you take bp meds.

    The water didn't give you the low potassium, the antihypertensives did. You shouldn't warn ppl against drinking water!!! Some may not know the process and misunderstand what your saying.

  • I was getting leg cramps or tingling especially in my left leg. Started reading an found that runners drink gator ade or power ade so they don't get leg cramps. It's lack of potassium. Before surgery

thank you everyone. i really dont like gatorade or Powerade so i searched for something i could like and low and behold i found this drink called bodyarmor it has 650 mg of potassium and other great things. i feel al ittle better

If you like Body Armor and need the potassium, I can also recommend Prime Hydration (the ones in the BOTTLES, the cans are an energy drink). It has about the same amount of potassium as Body Armor and I think they taste great, especially the lemonade when I can find it.
