I have had a massive heart attack. Therefore, i have a defibrillator and 2 stents. I now take a lot of medicines. So my doctor said my potassium was low. Now I find myself can barely walk because of my thighs and calf hurt so bad. My thighs hurts to even touch them. I have found taking a very hot shower sooth the pain. What should I do? Do I need to drink more water?

Hello, Teresa! How are you?

Did you take anything to help raise your potassium level?

If your level of potassium is low, it could cause these types of symptoms. You can also eat more foods that are rich in potassium, such as bananas.

As to the water, are you showing signs of dehydration? What medications do you take, can you please post back and be more specific? This information would make it easier to get some idea of what might be going on.
