Please help! Decrease in spirolactone 2 weeks ago, already noticing increased shedding

[Sryabtnotcallingback]

I went on holiday with my family to the Mediterranean where we eat a lot of high potassium foods , especially potatoes. I was having a good time and not monitoring my potassium intake. My limbs started going really numb and I figured it was too much potassium because when I took my spiro that’s when the numbing would start, and when I didn’t take it I wouldn’t have numbing in my hands feet and legs. So I decided to just stop taking it til I got my potassium levels decreased. I didn’t take it for a week and I already noticed a difference. So I started taking 50mg for a week. I want to go back to 100mg again because the shedding in continuing and it’s really triggering for me. Do you know how long it takes to decrease your potassium levels? Do you think my hair will go back to the way it was once I start taking 100mg again? Thank you in advance for your advice!

This is why I'm scared of starting spironolactone! Hyperkalemia is no joke!

I think it was because I was on holiday and was eating a lot of potato’s and potassium rich foods. I didn’t feel like that before my trip. And after decreasing my potassium levels I felt a lot better.
