Could Dizziness, Heavy Leg And Panic With High Electrolytes While Having Irregular Food Habits Serious?

Hi, I feel very dizzy (more like Fuzzy- can t focus) and generally feel like I am in someone else s body. My legs feel heavy when I walk etc. I have been like this for about a week. I am also feeling a bit panicky in my chest. Last week my blood test came back with high electrolytes (particularly potassium I think). This is being retested. I am very busy in my job and tend to miss breakfast, have a 10min lunch and then mostly drink coffee in the day. Could this be related? Am I just dehydrated or could this be more serious? I have drunk lots in the last few days but no noticeable difference. Thanks

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe,it may be due to the infection of the internal ear, or gastric irritation, or a problem in the chest.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have a C.T.scan for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms,ranitidine, and cinnerzine.
Take more of green leafy vegetables pulses, sprouts and protein rich foods.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
