Aspirin And High Levels Of Potassium

[Davos]

Hi,
This is my first post .
Taking aspirin 325 mg daily, for about 6 months now.
Potassium levels went up from 4.2 to 5.1.
Seems like my kidneys are not able to get rid of it.
I don’t want to quit aspirin because of family cancer history but also not wanting to develop kidney disease.
Thanks .
D.

Aspirin lowers Na/K ratio, try taking sodium bicarbonate to keep it balanced.

Alright.

Alright.

Fixed to lowers.

It's also a good idea to check the ratio, as increased potassium may already be internally compensated by higher sodium over time through a mechanism I'm unaware of, like increased MR sensitivity.

Is 1744 mg sodium bicarbonate enough? I only took only one alka seltzer will something happen if I take one more after 4 hours

Consider replacing aspirin with olive leaf extract.

Hi,
I’m not taking aspirin anymore because I have developed a bad heartburn after a year of taking it.
I changed to Curcumin medium dose
Which actually strengthens the wall structure of stomach. I take it in nano form for better absorption.
Lot safer for long term in my opinion.
Thank you for responding.

Curcumin medium dose

Curcumin lowers DHT and Testosterone. Be carefull .

Btw did you take aspirin with sodium bicarbonate? If so how much?
