I think I advised a previous author to perhaps use low sodium in and elderly person as a reason for their confusion. It is really surprising how sensitive your body is to swings in electrolytes.

My case might be unusual, so it might NOT work with the book, but Becky's required scenario rang a bell with me. <br /><br />Last December, I started having shortness of breath and what felt like a racing heart. It wasn't the first time, but this time I had radiating pain, so I headed for the closest ER. I've had a panic attack, so I didn't think it was that. My EKG was clean. They apparently believed me, however, even though they couldn't detect anything right away. So they kept me overnight to run a series of tests, and they put me in an observation room. <br /><br />The verdict? Low potassium. $35,000 later, it turned out I needed a mineral supplement. The good news is that all those tests showed I have a perfectly healthy heart, with no blockages or other issues. That reassurance made me feel even better.

Sounds like I was the one with the panic attack - hee!<br /><br />I DID change it to SVT, after exploring your links. Made SOOO much more sense to do it that way. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this!Becky Doughtyhttp://www.beckydoughty.comnoreply@blogger.com
