Interesting.. I have fluttering. I assumed my potassium intake is a lot lower than before (less potatos for example...). How do you get you potassium?

I get it through a tiny spoon (1/8-1/4 gram every few days or once per week) of potassium bicarbonate, which also acts as an antacid after meals. I have also tried potassium citrate. Dietarily, men should be getting 3-4 g per day, which is probably more than most receive.

I work as a medical technologist and have published peer-reviewed research on potassium sensing in the renal system.
