I had trouble with leg pain and when my potassium was upped from 20MEQ to 40MEQ it improved. Dr. G. told me too much or too little potassium can cause leg pain -- mine was a more a leg weakness.

cardiactec Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 dr1713,that is interesting....i am on .3mgs a day florinef and no potassium. i just started the florinef about a week and i'm gonna have labs drawn friday to see where im at. i'm pretty sure i'll be low on potassium, as the first time i took florinef only at .1 mg's a day, it dropped my potassium out. so i'm probably way down in potassium at .3mg's a day.

It's one of the ways I know it's low....however I am not on florinef....so can't help you there. Good luck sweetie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
