Interesting. Last year I was admitted to the hospital after fainting and the admitting doctor said I had no descernible traces of potassium and wanted to know why my heart was still beating?

After 2 days of hydration my reading were all normal and never yet got an explanation other than 'high stress'.

On the trip to move my oldest son out west early this year, he suddenly collapsed while we were in a fast-food joint in Butte MT. I turned my back for a second to clear the table, and BANG, down he went. Perfectly healthy 20 year-old. Called the EMTs, they took him to the hospital and ran all kinds of tests. Nothing.

Scared me to death, but thank the Lord he was fine. Three hours later we were back on the road, and nothing similiar has happened again.
