I could not get up a flight of stairs. I was dizzy and often had to touch the floor with my hands for fear of fainting. I had major issues with potassium and often would go by ambulance for severe aches and pains caused by potassium at 1.8. I would gain sometimes up to 8 pounds of water weight in a day and dieuretics would deplete the potassium. I couldn’t play with my 6 year old at all. I couldn’t concentrate or follow conversations.
