How can I increase my potassium levels?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

What are the best foods for replenishing electrolytes?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 74 years old. I have been a diabetes and thyroid patient for the last 11 years. Usually, I take one tablet for sugar and one for thyroid. Two months ago, I consulted a doctor who gave me two high-strength medicines for sugar and one medicine for nerves. After a few weeks, I experienced vomiting, so I tested my blood with another doctor. The report showed that my sodium and hemoglobin have decreased, and potassium has increased. Please let me know what I should do? Also, my body is shaking a lot.
