Alysiak, thank you for sharing this info. Potassium is an essential mineral for proper functioning of the heart and muscles, and it is more relevant for those practicing extreme sports. But, as important as this mineral is, many athletes neglect to check their magnesium levels as well. So, make sure to ask your doctor to check all essential minerals that ensure good functioning of the heart: calcium, magnesium and potassium. The most common way of losing potassium is through fluid loss as occurs with sweating or long episodes of vomiting or diahrrea. However, magnesium can be lost with daily stress in your life, and it goes unnoticed until the heart gets palpitations. I wish you well.
