3. Overeating, too sweet, and too salty will cause blood potassium to be lost in urine or transferred to the cells and cause low blood potassium.

4. It is easy to have a cold attack.

2. Thyroid disease.

Hyperthyroidism may present with hypokalemic periodic paralysis.

3. Familial periodic paralysis.

4. Renal potassium loss.

These include renal tubular acidosis, primary hyperaldosteronism, Barrter syndrome, and Gitelman syndrome.

The specific items that need to be checked mainly include:

Thyroid function, multiple potassium tests, 24-hour urine potassium, arterial blood gases, plasma renin, angiotensin, aldosterone levels, 24-hour urine aldosterone. Diagnostic algorithm and diet** can be found in my article:

Analysis: Hello. I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you after not being online for many days.

Based on your description, know that you have had multiple episodes of hypokalemia. There are many cases of hypokalemia, which are usually insufficient intake (such as digestive tract obstruction, long-term absence of food for various reasons, etc.), excessive excretion (such as vomiting and diarrhea, inappropriate use of potassium excretion diuretics, etc.), which can be corrected after ****. I'm not thinking about the above is not yours**.

This is followed by certain diseases, such as renal tubular acidosis, primary or secondary hyperaldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, etc., and even ordinary upper respiratory tract infections (viral are common), and hypokalemia is also present (specific** unknown). Suggestions: It is recommended that you supplement potassium in time when you are sick, and you can eat bananas, sweet oranges, fresh orange juice, etc.

I don't know if you have elevated blood pressure when you have hypokalemia, you said that you went to the hospital for examination, I don't know if you have had a urine test or blood gas analysis, adrenal ultrasound and aldosterone measurement, etc. I hope my answer gives you some inspiration, if you have questions we can continue to communicate, I will follow you! I hope you don't have to be burdened and take the illness with ease (if it's a disease at all).
