RE: How can our heart keep beating on it's own, over and over till we die - Understanding Electrical Activity of the Heart
Good reminder that it is the electrolytes in our bodies that are responsible for our heart contractions and rhythm. I have seen patients develop atrial fibrillation from being on hydrochlorothiazide for too long without a proper diet.
Also try centering your pictures. all you have to do is surround the full picture link with (center)picture link(/center) but use <> instead of ().
Thanks so much for taking your time to read the post :) Really appreciate it.
Yeah it's really important to counsel the patients to maintain a proper diet when prescribing diuretics. And Thiazide group is specifically know for it's side effect of hypercalcemia, and with calcium playing big role in the electrical activity in the heart, it's not surprising why thiazides can disrupt normal rhythm.
Also, thanks a lot for the code. Also, do you happen to know how to take pictures on either side of text? I wanted to try that too with some posts but didn't know how.
Once again, thank you very much.
I tried using the code, but it didn't work :(
There are a number of old posts on here that can likely show you how to do the coding properly better then what I can explain without having to take pictures. do a google search of markdown picture center justification and something should come up.
Gotta be careful with those potassium/calcium wasting diuretics--can lead to hypkalemia and hypocalcemia.
