My husband has had low potassium. Be prepared. The infused potassium is VERY, VERY uncomfortable to receive. It burns horribly. Get them to administer it slowly. See if they can cut it with a saline drip. FYI - a glass of orange juice in the morning will help him maintain a good level once it has been corrected (assuming all is well). Good luck.
Same here Missy. We had a three week stay in the hospital that ended just last week, and Mom's potassium was very low. The saline drip combination seemed a lot easier and was the route we chose also.
Pot. short for Potassium and while I was just old enough for Woodstock sadly I did not go. I did have the LP"S from it. That's records for you young people, defore blue ray,cd's, cassettes and 8 track. Should have hung on to them. Oh well.
