Signs And Symptoms Of High Potassium | Hyperkalemia Symptoms Side Effects 3 Views • 5 months ago

Hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in your blood) is a very dangerous condition, especially in patients having kidney diseases. It is a fatal condition that can even cause death. But if you know the signs and symptoms of high potassium levels in your blood, you can save your or someone else’s life. So in this video, we’ll tell you all the hyperkalemia
symptoms you should be aware of.

SUMMARY
1. Muscle weakness: Hyperkalemia is characterized by ascending muscle weakness that begins with the legs and progresses to the trunk and arms. This is one of the very important signs of high blood potassium levels. Simple activities such as walking will make you feel weak. Your muscles can also lose their ability to function properly, leading to fatigue. You may have dull, continuous pain in your muscles. It may feel as if you have completed a strenuous workout or a physical exercise when you have just started your day.

2. Numbness and tingling: Having too much potassium in your blood also affects nerve function. Potassium helps you fire signals in your brain. But this becomes harder when there is too much potassium in your blood. Gradually you may develop neurological symptoms such as numbness or a feeling of “pins and needles” striking your limbs.

3. Nausea and vomiting: Hyperkalemia can also have a detrimental effect on your digestive health. In some people, too much potassium has been linked to vomiting, nausea, and abdominal pain.

4. Abnormal heartbeat: A side effect of hyperkalemia is the risk of developing an abnormal heartbeat. This occurs when damage occurs to the muscles that control your heart. This can cause heart palpitations, chest pain, and lead to heart failure. Your heartbeat may feel like your heart has stopped beating. This feeling is not only felt in the chest. Some people feel a tingling sensation in the neck and throat, too. If you have a heart rhythm problem, you may feel a strong pressure on your chest, arms, and neck. Other symptoms such as diarrhea, heartburn, cold sweats, and dizziness may also occur. If you experience these symptoms, call 911 or seek immediate medical attention.

5. Shortness of breath: Breathing problem is another indication of high potassium levels. This occurs when high blood potassium begins to affect the muscles that control breathing. Your lungs do not get enough oxygen because of the increased heart rate. You may have difficulty holding your breath or feeling tightness in your chest. In extreme cases, it may feel as if you were being choked. Call your doctor and seek medical help as soon as possible in case you feel this.

Most people have a few symptoms. When symptoms appear, they are usually mild and vague. You may feel muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, nausea, or other unusual sensations. It usually grows slowly for several weeks or months and is usually mild. It can come back.

Sudden or severe hyperkalemia is a life-threatening condition. It requires immediate medical attention.

How Does Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (Lokelma) Work? - First Response Medicine Side Effects 1 Views • 5 months ago

How Does Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (Lokelma) Work? In this informative video, we will discuss Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate, commonly known as Lokelma, and its role in treating high potassium levels in the blood, a condition referred to as hyperkalemia. We will explain how Lokelma works by binding potassium ions in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating their elimination through feces. This mechanism is essential for managing elevated potassium levels effectively and safely.

You’ll learn about Lokelma's unique properties, including its non-absorbed nature and its ability to selectively capture potassium ions without affecting other electrolytes. We will also highlight the significance of Lokelma's rapid action, which can be particularly beneficial in emergency situations. Understanding the application of Lokelma in both immediate treatment and long-term management of hyperkalemia is important for healthcare providers and first responders alike.

Join us as we break down the science behind this medication and its practical implications in the field of emergency medicine. Don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more helpful discussions on first responders medicine and related topics.

1:20 Hyperkalemia causes
2:30 Typical hyperkalemia treatment
3:05 Hypokalemia
3:20 Symptoms of hypokalemia
3:30 Testing for hyperkalemia and hypokalemia

Today we’re going to talk about high levels of potassium in your blood, which is called hyperkalemia.

98% of all of the potassium in your body is actually inside of your cells, not outside of the cells or in your blood. When evaluating hyperkalemia, we’re really looking at just the 2%, so we’re not seeing the whole picture of what’s going on.

Considering that the majority of the potassium is inside of the cell, measuring potassium levels based on the blood may not be a good way to determine if a person has too much or too little potassium. However, there is an intracellular potassium test that I believe is much more valuable.

A few important things about hyperkalemia:
• It’s very rare
• There are very few symptoms associated with hyperkalemia (severe cases may cause palpitations, tiredness, muscle pain, and muscle weakness)
• There is a condition called pseudohyperkalemia (which is basically a false impression that you have high levels of potassium in the blood)
• Excessive intake of potassium is not a primary cause of hyperkalemia

A few causes of hyperkalemia:
• Advanced kidney disease
• Addison’s disease
• NSAIDs
• Certain high blood pressure medications

The typical treatment for hyperkalemia typically involves taking:
• Calcium
• Insulin
• Dextrose
• Sodium bicarbonate

On the other hand, A deficiency of potassium in the blood is called hypokalemia. Hypokalemia is the most common form of electrolyte imbalance when someone is hospitalized.

A few symptoms of hypokalemia:
• Leg cramps
• Weakness
• Constipation
• Abnormal heart rhythm issues

A short history of lithium, and its remarkable impact on mood disorders | Explainer | ABC News Side Effects 3 Views • 5 months ago

The drug lithium has had a remarkable impact on our lives, becoming the gold standard treatment for bipolar disorder and greatly reducing the risk of suicide. But what is less well known is its history as a cure-all, its presence in mineral springs and how it was a key ingredient in the soft drink 7Up when it was launched in 1920s. 

If you want to learn more about the remarkable story of lithium, head to the All in the Mind podcast: https://ab.co/3fMPHMR

#LithiumExplainer

Lithium is not just used in batteries — it can also have a remarkable effect on our mood.

In the 1940s, Australian doctor John Cade discovered lithium to be a highly effective treatment for what was then called manic depression.

Today, it's considered the gold-standard treatment for bipolar disorder.

Walter Brown, a clinical psychiatrist and professor at Brown University in the US, says when lithium-based medication works, "it's extraordinarily effective".

"It really turns people's lives around."

Lithium medication cannot only act as a mood stabiliser, but also greatly reduces the risk of suicide, a benefit often not seen in other medications.

Since the risk of suicide is about 20 times higher in patients with bipolar disorder than the general population, it's safe to say Dr Cade's discovery has saved millions of lives worldwide.

Lithium is the lightest metal of the periodic table. It's found naturally in nearly all rocks, as well as soil and still bodies of water.

It often makes its way into vegetables, grains, spices and drinking water — and in the original recipe for the soft drink 7Up.

Launched as "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda" in 1929, 7Up contained lithium citrate, one of the many ingestible "salt" forms of the metal.

7Up stopped adding lithium citrate to its formula in 1948. Until then, though, it was seen as a health drink.

In the late 19th to early 20th centuries, lithium was seen a bit of a "cure all"; a healthy added extra to pop in pretty much anything, kind of like the turmeric of its day.

It was common practice for companies to bottle water from mineral springs and sell it as a take-home remedy.

But people have believed in the curative properties of mineral waters long before that.

"The ancient Greeks, probably Romans, also Native Americans, did bathe in mineral waters that probably contained lithium," Professor Brown said.

All those naturally occurring lithium salts that found their way into the groundwater would be especially present in mineral springs and as a health drink.

And while the element of lithium itself was yet to be discovered, those cultures would attribute healing properties to the mineral springs.

"Soranus of Ephesus, a medical doctor from the second century, prescribed mineral waters actually for people who were manic and had other psychiatric problems," Professor Brown said.

It's now thought that there may be some truth to the medical benefits of mineral springs due to the presence of lithium salts.
