Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hi and thanks for your reply!Hmmm... So then WHY is my FULL BLOOD Potassium SO high if serum is low? I know for a fact that Serum potassium is like 1% of our total potassium... This means tissue counts the most! I need to figure this out! Have WEIRD heart symptoms now and I'm going to the ER again. I hate going there! I want balance!Subject: My fullblood "spectrometic" electrolyte sample results!To: RT3_T3 Date: Saturday, March 13, 2010, 9:53 PM  I'm pretty sure the heart responds to the potassium that is in the blood(serum) . I think your K levels would need to be around 6 or 7 for it to be dangerous. As long as your kidneys function well and do not have other illness that cause K retention, you can not overdose on K by eating food.  Every time you pee, you're losing potassium and sodium. The florinef may lower your K a little or it may actually help balance it.
