@veeravee Welcome to Connect. We’re a large group patients, caregivers and friends who try to help each other. The first thing i would ask, is have you seen a doctor? Emergency room doctors aren’t really equipped to deal with issues such as yours. Your family doctor should be able to do blood work and tests to see if your body is working correctly and to help you if its not.
Did a doctor tell you to take the salt tablets with potassium? Unless the pills were prescribed, i would strongly suggest that you not use them. Any imbalance in the amounts of potassium in your blood can be lethal. (As a nurse, i used to work on a cardiac unit)
Do you think you can call for an appointment tomorrow to see your doctor?

Thank you for your reply!

A doctor has said I can take a tablet a day considering it helps with retaining fluid and helps me feel less dizzy from low blood pressure. The amount of potassium is only 50mg per tablet so it's quite little.

I have seen a doctor for general blood work up but not any special tests and my problem is deemed to be anxiety related...
