I think fully ripened one is not good.
Yes, I do not personally have low potassium [in fact i must avoid foods with high potassium because of my kidneys - but that's another story], but my wife does because of her congestive heart failure [CHF] and diuretics used to control that. She takes 40 Meqs 3x/day. If she is low, she is sluggish and wants to sleep a lot. The only way to tell is a blood test .
I am on a potassium pill myself cuz I take Lasix which I loose the potassium due to it…so yeah but I am being treated for it. Hugs! Sheila
Yeah, my doctor has me taking 10 MEQ of potassium three times a day. Due to extreme congestive heart failure, I'm on 2 different diuretics and I lose a lot of potassium that way.
Yes I do, I take med's and my caregiver gives me a banana a day. Cara
how did you know you had low potassuim what where you symptoms
I use diuretics for congestive heart failure and am on an every other day supplement. A simple blood test will let you know if your potassium level is in range. Be aware that frequent hypoglycemia contributes to low potassium levels in some diabetics also.
