Excellent coverage of Familial Primary Periodic Paralysis (hypokalemic) vs Acquired Periodic Hypokalemic Paralysis

[dailydoseofmedicinee]

Hypokalemia symptoms include muscle weakness and cramps, paralytic ileus, ECG abnormalities, intestinal paralysis, decreased reflex response and (in severe cases) respiratory paralysis, alkalosis and arrhythmia.

Great explanation. For my 24 yr old son with Hypokalemic periodic paralysis, his K can be in the low-normal range (3.7) and he is already symptomatic. He will be unable to stand straight, walking is difficult, he is likely to also be observed having tremors/spasms/shivers. Additionally, he will have personality changes as this occurs… becoming negative and even surly, a complete 180 from his normal personality. If you suspect HypoPP, please don’t give the patient normal saline… my son requires lactated ringers.
