1. Symptoms of hypokalemia: Abnormal muscle sensation. Some patients will feel muscle beating. In severe cases, it can also lead to muscle paralysis. For example, after waking up, the limbs cannot move, so hypokalemia is harmful to the patient. The impact on skeletal muscle is relatively large; electrolyte imbalance caused by hypokalemia first requires timely replenishment of electrolytes. Patients can supplement electrolytes through medication or diet, or drink some drinks containing electrolytes. In addition to timely replenishment of electrolytes, patients should also actively treat hypokalemia. Oral medications need to be treated under the guidance of a doctor, and intravenous supplements can be used if necessary.

2. In severe cases, it will affect the cardiovascular system, leading to arrhythmia, such as tachyarrhythmia, abnormal premature beats, and in severe cases, cardiac accidents. Patients can also supplement potassium through diet and eat more foods with high potassium content, such as meat, fruits, etc. Bananas can be chosen among fruits, and the potassium content in bananas is relatively high. There are many causes of hypokalemia. Therefore, once a patient is found to have hypokalemia, detailed examination should be performed to identify the primary disease and be actively treated. After finding the cause, you can go to the corresponding endocrinology department, nephrology department, interventional department and urology department for treatment.

3. Treatment methods for hypokalemia: In addition to potassium supplementation and drug treatment, in daily life, it can also assist in the treatment of diseases by improving the quality of life. Pay attention to maintaining a balanced potassium intake in the diet, with comprehensive nutrition, not being picky about food, and eating more foods rich in vitamins and protein. Usually pay more attention to rest, keep the environment clean and hygienic, go for a walk and breathe fresh air. You can eat some foods rich in potassium to ensure nutritional balance and resist overeating and picky eating. In addition, patients should remain emotionally comfortable, not under too much psychological pressure, face it optimistically, and receive active treatment, so that they can recover as soon as possible.

4. The treatment method for hypokalemia is to treat the original disease first, and then supplement potassium accordingly. There are many causes of hypokalemia. Hypokalemia is a difficult disease of the endocrine system. Generally speaking, the causes of hypokalemia are divided into insufficient intake, abnormal distribution, and excessive excretion. Insufficient intake is usually due to poor gastrointestinal intake, chronic nausea, vomiting, or excessive sweating. For example, excessive sweating during military training can lead to hypokalemia. If the cause of hypokalemia is unknown, symptomatic potassium supplementation can be used. The principle is to take it orally first, then intravenously. When injecting blood potassium intravenously, be careful not to add too much, too fast, too concentrated, or too early, that is, avoid supplementing too much potassium, avoid supplementing potassium too quickly, and avoid excessively high concentrations. You need to check your urine for potassium.
