I feel less weak and I have way less heart palpitations, I feel I am close to the end of my recovery. I can't tell you for sure if potassium is the cure but it is definitely necessary to keep monitored and for function. 4,700 mg a day for adults is what is recommended. In the hospital, I was still able to follow my vitamin schedule and was put on a new medicine for my anxiety. I was there for 6 days. They had different types of groups and therapy while I was there. Food was good surprisingly for a hospital. I was mostly found in the art therapy room painting projects or coloring with other people. I got to meet new people with anxiety, and someone my age was there with PCS just like me. It's a relief sometimes to know you aren't alone.
