I had a blood test last week. All came back with good news, I had to have 5 tubes and 12 different tests. I've even ill all year with an underactive thyroid so my gp wanted to rule a lot out. All ok other than my potassium and sodium being marked low and I have to book in with the gp.
My sodium is 129 mmol (range is 133-146) and potassium onlying just out of range at 3.4 (range 3.5-5.3).
I'm speaking to my gp Tuesday as he has a 4 week wait to see him. I'm worried as I know it can be linked to some horrible things and early death, fits etc... I'm not go ogling I just know too much from when I used to work on a renal ward years ago.
Has anyone experienced this and was it nothing to worry about? I eat a good diet, I have pink salt in my cooking, I eat a banana or 2 a day for potassium.
Thank you.
