Taking a specific whey protein supplement (ImuPower) daily for 6 weeks can improve shortness of breath but not lung function or quality of life in people with COPD. Other research suggests that taking whey protein supplements does not improve lung function, muscle function, or exercise tolerance in people with COPD.
I have a pt who has hypochloremia and hypokalemia along with hyponatremia. I don't under stand the relationship between hypochloremia and hypokalemia. I did write that hypokalemia is related to my pt by: drugs can cause decreased levels such as heparin.
This can occur during treatment and up to several weeks after treatment with heparin has stopped. Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: pain/loss of feeling in the arms/legs, change in color of the arms/legs, chest pain, trouble breathing, confusion, weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, vision changes.
