Wow, that sounds like quite an ordeal. Glad you landed okay! I had no idea medication could have that strong of an effect.

I also have been checking my levels a little obsessively, unsuccessfully trying to find ways to drop them. And like you, I noticed that I spike during cold weather. I’m probably particularly sensitive because I have very low body fat.

You probably tried potassium chloride/bicarbonate already?

I just tried upping dietary potassium with more bananas and avocados and reducing sodium, haven’t looked in to potassium chloride/bicarbonate

Supplementing it is totally different in my experience.
