I have been keeping my body alkaline every single day for months. Using Apple cider vinegar. I have been going through the worst muscle pain I have ever been through. I have had a leg amputation. Which sucked and the pain was violent. But these muscle aches almost tops it. Once I had a full week where I could barely walk and I ended up getting high af off of vicodin (pain killer). The pain was so unbearable I took more than what I should. I felt my body in panic and I thought I was going to die. But the pain was so bad that I just accepted it. I have pains regularly but that instance was the worst one. I have done exclusive research and found that Apple cider vinegar lowers potassium levels which has been causing my muscle pains. Now that I know this, starting tonight I am going to avoid apple cider vinegar, I just ate 3 Bananas so I should be good… theoretically
what a hardcore video even for me as a nurse!
Just got out of hospital because the hypokalemia
Intravascular space means inside the blood vessels i.e between the rbc and wbc and platelets collectively known as extracellular space
I have hypokalemia
Awesome
wonderful vedio
Thank you so much… A fan of osmosis team😍
so basically I have a bad diet and I have to eat more potassium to regulate it by eating bananas n shit or it can be my kidneys n I can be fucked forever……cool
Detailed video.Thanks
So hypokalemia causes excitability of cardiac muscles?
So, heart faillure increases aldosterone levels, and as a result can increase potassium excretion. Due to this you can develop aritmia's.
They often also give diuretics with heart faillure (fluid retention) , which also increases potassium excretion. So these cardiac patiënts have quite the risk of hypokaliemia.
Great video
Also very much thank you sir tannier
Thank you very much rishi sir…
ACLS and BLS pleaseeee!!!!
excellent video, I'm a french boy with westphal disease and I like to understand how potassium works and what exactly is, this helps me to try to find ways to limit the crisis and the effects of my hypokalemia (around 1 big per week)
So thank you for your video ^^
Thank you so much for this amazing important video ♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sir your explanation methods is very good India's tutor and doctor is completely uneducated
It'd be awesome if you could make a hyperkalemia video and then eventually hyper/hypo-natremia, your videos are fantastic.
I wonder if one day you will contract a smart person just like you who can translate this lectures in other languages like spanish and french…. But I guess is too much to ask so nevermind.
I suppose I'll support the trend and ask for an ALS video too
