Hello, i got sodium excess a few times in a row and one time 3.5 potassium (3.5 - 5.1). I was told to drink more, however every time I drink 2-3 litres a day i get insomnia or waking up at night. Potassium supplement also causes the same sleep problems. I also have muscle twitching, slight short pains around the body, sometimes lowered libido and heart palpitations, confusion, short term memory problemas. What can be the cause 😄?
