What Could Mild Hyperkalemia With Irregular Heart Beat During Exercise Indicate?
I was wondering. I have had a previous heart attack in 2004 and when I am exercising, my heart pounds really hard and fast one moment and then it seems I can't feel it beat momentarily at all. Recent blood work showed mild hyperkalemia with a reading of 54.2. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
If you don't have other abnormalities in your lab results. There is nothing to worry.
It can be related to dietary habits.
I would advise you to restrict foods rich in potassium in your diet, and the it will normalize during a month.
Wishing you good health
