For the last five days I have experienced agitation and blurred vision in various degrees of severity, all very uncomfortable. It is difficult to get through the day and I am unable to concentrate or even focus on anything. Yesterday I got the lab results from blood that was drawn three weeks ago. Everything was within range except Potassium and T3 Uptake. My Potassium was 3.4 (Reference Range 3.5-5.3 mmol/L) and my T3 Uptake was 20% (Reference Range 22-35%). I know that Potassium deficiency can cause my symptoms, but I have been taking a Potassium supplement for several months (550mg Potassium Gluconate) along with a multivitamin my doctor prescribes. For the past two days I have been taking the Potassium twice a day. I also try to incorporate as much Potassium as possible into my diet. Can anyone tell me what might be going on and what I can do to fix it?
