Yellow Mustard is like pure potassium! When you are getting muscle cramps take a swallow of Yellow Mustard and the cramp will go away in UNDER a minute!! Don’t forget this! 👀😎

Watched this about a year ago and found it again today as I'm studying for NCLEX. Presentation so much better than a bunch of lists! Thank you!

I was having what I thought sounded like withdrawal symptoms...but it was just an electrolyte imbalance!

[eddiegarciajr]

I had low serum potassium levels from alcoholism and working in the sun all day. I had constant PVC’s, poor/choppy bowel movements (small amounts), and a lot of little muscle twitching with a flushed face feeling going on days before my heart went into SVT. All because of low potassium! Crazy...

Thanks for explaining in such a kind and gentle way. You're great.

potassium -leg cramps, otherwise starts at 2:50

[lvteachme]

Thorough and easy to understand explanations provided. By the way, I am not even a nursing student.

Interesting that if you do a search on leg cramps magnesium deficiency comes to the top of the list. How much damage is done by supplementing with bad information. Thank you for setting things straight for me!

Very helpful for hikers and sports enthusiasts....

The addition of peaked T waves (hyper K+) and flat T waves (hypo K+) would make this perfect....thanks :]

This is the best electrolyte video I have come across. Thank you!!

Pls make a video to treat low sodium like foods which helps to treat the above problems.

[spdodger]

Just a suggestion, but hypomagnesemia should probably include hypertension since it's a big s&s for low magnesium--and it will match your hypotension for hypermagnesemia.

[NovaBrite]

The only issue I have with your presentation is that you said Chvostek and Trousseau signs are the hallmarks of hypocalcemia in that you won’t find those clinical symptoms with other conditions, but in fact they can be present with hypomagnesemia and metabolic alkalosis as well.

Hi, thanks for your video! What's the difference from central nervous system to neurological? I took notes, really trying to learn this and I appreciate the format you used.

[RickyC]

Amazing, this was very helpful in remember the key signs and symptoms for each electrolyte. Thanks!!!

[lynettevillaruel]
