Hiya,

Sorry to hear about the rash. I hate it when i get rashes.

Did you see a doctor about the rash? Just about everything and nothing could cause a rash, so it really needs to be checked before jumping to conclusions.

As for the potassium, what was it last time? Has it been high for a while?

High potassium can cause Hyperkalemia. This can effect heart muscle which can cause cardiac arrest. Need to lower it to normal level quickly.

Here is a nice overview on high potassium, again it's something to also check with your doctor/healthcare provider.

Thank u all for the reply...actually I did the test at a lab clinic, but after the test I was afraid  of the results so I went to see my ID doctor and she said the test results are not ok that she think they made a mistake.
So she send me to retake the  test at their hospital. So by tmrw  I'll go and get it.

Hiya,

So it's only the most recent result that high, at least it's not a trend.

As the doctor mentioned lab errors can also happen, I would retest as the doctor plans and see what the results are.
