Hi All,
This was brought up in another conversation a few weeks back, but I was feeling tired and someone mentioned having potassium levels checked, because the diuretic lowers potassium and can make you feel very tired.
Well - I want to say thanks, I went to my PCP who tested my potassium levels and they are low.
And if anyone else out there is on a diuretic and feels bone-tired for no good reason, have your potassium checked out.

This can be a potentaly deadly deal if your potassium get too low. There is no way to check excpt for bloodwork. It is important to follow up with doctors (usually 30 days after a dieretic is perscriped). The body chemestry needs to be correct for things to work right. I advise getting copies of all your blood work and saving and reviewing all medication for side effects. Know what is do what to you. Tell your doctor everything in a honest and forthright manor.
God Bless
