Yes but they say it’s my norm, they did prescribe me these huge potassium pills a couple times but nothing changed! 🤷🏾‍♀️

All the time. They never could figure out why. It's been going on for five years. I was only diagnosed last Aug/Sept.

Potassium's a mineral and no matter what you eat or take pills your minerals needs to be balanced with your other required minerals or the body will have a hard time absorbing and utilizing the minerals and vitamins talk to your Dr or a professional nutritionist on how to keep your minerals balanced

Yes, I got potassium pills once. My doctor says eat a banana everyday. I hate bananas, LOL. But, I eat other high potassium source foods everyday so I can't figure it out.
