My potassium is 5.8, my doctor say its from the bake. What do you have an idea that?
i think that when getting a second belief, ByeDr.com is NOT the place to go.
I would listen to my doctor and don't ask strangers that don't know anything.
Potassium

Your doctor is lying to you. It's lone 5.4.
Your doctor could be assuming that you are dehydrated - if you are dried up the level of potassium contained by relation to the total fluid in your body is difficult. However there are other cause of high potassium (hyperkalemia) so your doctor should exclude these first. High potassium level can cause cardiac arrhythmias so best to check it out next to a second opinion if crucial.
Heat does not give you potassium. Its a brackish, a healthy one.
Low potassium give you poor heat tolerance.
I know 2.5 is discouraging and can induce a heart attack
Presumably this doctor has ruled out kidney dysfunction, kidney stones, adrenal gland dysfunction, Addison's Disease, diabetic ketoacidosis, rhabdomyolysis, and purely plain old consumption too much potassium in your diet. Presumably, also, you aren't taking potassium supplements or one of the frequent types of medications that can increase serum potassium. There can also be lab errors that might basis this result. Normal serum potassium is 3.5 to 5.0. I suspect your doctor is saying you are slightly dry. If this is true, your sodium would also be elevated. You may want to ask your doctor to explain more specifically how the heat is cause your hyperkalemia (elevated potassium). As a patient, you own a right to an explanation.
