My father has heart insufficiency problem. He worked in a factory under the influence of some dangerous substances that caused cardio myopathy. It is a sort of compensated heart insufficiency. He takes several medications (beta blockers and diuretics) and I have heard that it might damage his electrolytes levels. What can you do if diuretics mess up your sodium and potassium level?

You should know that sodium/potassium pump is one of the most important mechanisms in organism and it might be disturbed with the use of some medications, especially those that help with heart problems (diuretics). Balance might be disturbed and that might lead to severe complications in the organism. Therefore, people that use diuretics usually have to take meds with electrolytes for compensation.
