Good heavens albuterol for shortness of breath is possible malpractice. If you heart has an arrhythmia and pulse is high you are going to be short of breath.

Offering blood thinners after one episode is also inappropriate. Wow.

I take magnesium at night and drink low sodium V-8 (potassium) in the morning. I don't eat after 5 because reclining with food in me is a trigger.

I hope you continue to do well and have better medical care!

I did complain about the albuterol being prescribed through the hospital advocacy and was told that they couldn't find sufficient evidence for malpractice. I also take magnesium; 400mg every night. I like your idea about taking the low sodium V-8 for potassium. I've been trying to eat a banana every morning, but I'm not a big fan of bananas; they need to be under ripe for me to eat. So that means only buying a couple at a time. Too many trips to the grocery store in a week. Thank you for your response.
