I suspect your GP is just trying to help.
Low potassium produces massive arrythmias and after heart operations on ITU we used to give gallons. We now give litres
. However, unless you are on some strange diet or take diuretic drugs (or have just been on cardiopulmonary bypass for an open heart operation!!!), it wont be low. If you are worried eat a couple of banana a day - that is just as good. Incidentally, and off on a tangent, because K40 is radioactive, all bananas are radioactive!! So we could measure the exposure of pilots to solar radiation on a transatlantic flight in bananas
Magnesium is the new potassium and the in drug on ITU. Everyone on ITU has it measured and topped up. IMHO it is a silly fad and totally without population evidence. Again, you have to be on a mad diet for it to be low if you are young and fit.
Keep at it - it seems everyone is convinced you are healthy on this thread!!!
