The Problem . . .
Posted at February 9, 2006 05:08 AM in Lupus .
The solution given for my heart beating rapidly and pounding in my chest was this -- a banana. Yes, I needed potassium. Apparently, when you're doing diuretics, particularly the high dose of lasix and I forget the other one that starts with a "z", your body also eliminates the potassium in your system and this is what gave me the flux.
Fortunately, this little fix is not a problem because I absolutely love bananas. I had such a banana party yesterday I could not help myself. The bananas became a meal all by themselves. I love bananas and I love carrots, however, with the carrots, I have to ensure I don't eat so many I turn orange. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
This morning is great, last night I slept peacefully, and today, well, I enjoy.
