Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I've been off spiro for four weeks and am really feeling the effects. I'm taking diazide and my BP is holding okay but I'm having other symptoms pretty badly--numbness, tingling, brittle feelings, water retention, weakness, sweats, anxiety, heat intolerance, etc. I had been walking a mile each evening but have had to quit. I am too weak and it is too hot right now. I am frankly amazed at the weakness I'm feeling now as compared to being on spiro. I am even more amazed to think I have been this week for several years. Today is the last day of the heart monitor. I purposely ate salt to see if it would set the monitor off and so far, it has not. In terms of purposely setting the alarm off, the only thing I've found to do it is low potassium. Do normal people have an occasional irregular heartbeat? My monitor has gone off at times when I've been feeling quite okay. In total, it has gone off nine times in three weeks. Four of the nine alerts were on the two days following no K supplementation.
