After sweating, a bottle of pure water was filled, and the man's severe lack of potassium lack of potassium and his legs fell to the ground softly.

The inspection shows that Mr. Zhou's blood potassium index is far lower than the normal interval.

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan client August 29th. The man sweated 6 kilometers, and he was filled with a bottle of pure water to supplement water. Unexpectedly, he was weak and injured accidentally.

Recently, Mr. Zhou, 29, determined to lose weight. Without much exercise experience, he formulated a high -intensity sports plan for himself. On August 21, Mr. Zhou ran 6 kilometers in one breath while the temperature was cooler in the morning. "After running, it was quite sweaty, and I bought a bottle of pure water to drink on the self -service vending machine." Mr. Zhou said that during this time, he sweated a lot during exercise, and he would replenish it in large quantities every time. I did not expect to drink this time. After walking home, when I stepped down, I suddenly felt weak, and fell to the ground and wounded my left foot.

On the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Zhou was sent to the Fourth Hospital of Wuhan Hospital by his family. The ankle surgery in Wuhan City found that the "left -foot boat fracture" was found and needed surgery. After admission, the symptoms of weakness of the patient's lower limbs gradually increased, and they could not get out of bed and walk normally. In the process of asking the medical history, the doctor learned that Mr. Zhou was dying to lose weight. After a large amount of sweating and drinking pure water, he had weak limbs, and suspected that Mr. Zhou suffered from hypokalemia. Sure enough, the test results confirmed that the potassium concentration of Mr. Zhou was only 2.1mmol/L. The patient's blood potassium indicators are recovered normally by taking intraocular potassium supplementation and oral potassium supplement.

"Potassium ions are very important electrolytes in the human body. Severe low potassium can endanger life." Director Fang Zhenhua, ankle surgery of Wuhan Fourth Hospital, introduced that hypokalemia is an electrolyte disorder. The blood potassium of normal people is between 3.5 and 5.5 mmol/L, and it is reduced to 3.0 ～ 3.5 mmol/L. It is a severe potassium deficiency. Low potassium is manifested in full body weakness, soreness, numb hands and feet, and severe potassium may induce arrhythmia, and even a series of heart problems such as heart arrest.

Director Fang Zhenhua said that potassium can be intake through food under normal circumstances, and then discharged through sweat and stool, the human body can adjust its balance. However, Mr. Zhou sweated a lot of exercise, and sweat took away a large amount of potassium ions. At this time, drinking pure water simply could not effectively supplement potassium. In addition, Mr. Zhou further aggravated potassium deficiency in order to lose weight to lose weight.

Experts remind that in summer, after exercise or other reasons, do not ignore the supplement of electrolytes. You cannot simply rely on pure water and boiled water to supplement water. You can drink some warm salt water or exercise drinks to supplement potassium. (Changjiang Daily reporter Wu Ye correspondent Chen Mengyuan Guo Jingquan Du Yuehui)
