Brief Answer: Low potasium&hypertension key to your problem... Detailed Answer: Hi, I read your query and your attached data very carefully. Based on your medical history and laboratory data the principal factors which can trigger the crisis of atrial fibrillation are: - Exacerbated asthma - Non Stabilized hypertension - Hypokalemia (low potasium level <3.6 mmol/l. So i suggest to consult your cardiologist and pulmonologist to stabilize the BP and pulmonary function (asthma). You don't mention what medication you're taking but i presume that you take water pills. The use of diuretics (if you don't use potasium sparing diuretics such as spironalactone) is one of the major causes of low potasium Also i suggest to take potasium supplements and to add potasium sparing diuretics on daily basis (if you don't take one of them). At the end i would recommend to talk with your cardiologist to see the opportunity to begin an anti arrhythmic preparation for better control of arrhythmia. Hope i answered to your query. Dr. Benard

Brief Answer: High eosinophils indicate poor asthma control.. Detailed Answer: Hi, Your blood profile including high eosinophils levels indicate for asthma especially of advanced stages or not well controlled. Therefore, it is a must to consult a pneumologist/allergolosist for better asthma control. Although you did not have an asthma attack, however, clinical evaluation and spirometry would better determine its stage in order to keep it under control. Please bare in mind that in your case, even a little attack of common cold or viral infection could aggravate asthma resulting in high eosinophils levels. With regards to low potassium, it would be as a side effect of taking albuterol. I suggest to continue taking potasium supplements. In order to exclude hyperaldosteronism, I'd suggest to get a hormonal balance of surrenal gland together with an abdominal ultrasound. A further consultation with endocrinologist is also needed. All the best! Dr.Benard
