Blood Pressure Meds And Potassium
23 Answers
Further to my post last week RE: blood tests and high blood pressure....
Having spent the best part of this year on meds for high blood pressure, I had a call
from GP's asking me to call in as my blood test results (taken last week) showed that I had a high potassium reading.
Had another blood test today at surgery.
(Nurse that took it asked if I was OK with needles while looking at a tattooed arm, but hey..)
All a bit confused.
My potassium readings are all of a sudden reading high.
Had numerous bloods done b4 so why now?
Had GP himself telephone me yesterday morning,
Asking if I had chest pains, shortness off breath, urinating more than normal etc.
Just had more blood taken from me....
WHY? You only took it a few days ago.
Is it going to change from red to blue overnight or something?
Dont mean to be facetious or anything,
Just trying to understand whats going on.
Its my blood, my body etc.
would be nice if my gp shared what was going on.
