| Low potassium, low BUN/Creat ratio, ????
I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum, but here goes.
I'm a 25 year old female. I had a pretty nasty kidney infection ( i was in the hospital) when I was 19. When I was 22, I had mono. After the mono, I had lower back pain. I was told I had elevated of cortisol, but nothing more really ever came of that. I didn't press the matter cause the doctors didn't seem to think it was serious. I work for a bank that pays for each employee to get a complete blood test. Results were: I had low potassium 3.0 and I eat a banana everyday for breakfast, HCT 37, MCH 25.7, RDW-CV 17.9 BUN itself & Creat were in the normal range, but the BUN/Creat ratio was marked as "very low" on my blood work, but i can't remember the exact number.(all other blood work was in normal range). i have also been taking prenatal pills. i'm not pregnant or trying to get pregnant, just taking them to try to get healthy. I haven't felt "well" in long time. I've had muscle cramping, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, back pain (still), cold all the time, and my heart has just randomly started racing a few times (usually 130-150 beats per minute lasting anywhere from 2 -8 minutes). . Does anyone have a clue as to what could be the cause of this? My dr. has put me on potassium for 3 months, then recheck.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
