Hyperkalemia is an electrolyte imbalance and is indicated by a high level of potassium in the blood. Potassium is an electrolyte found inside the cells of the human body.

Loperamide is an anti-diarrheal medicine. The drug itself is not related to an increase in potassium on a blood test. However, having diarrhea can cause you to lose potassium and other minerals. So that a blood test taken before the drug is used can show a low potassium level. When the diarrhea stops, the potassium level will increase.
Why don't you ask your doctor...he/she will know for sure.
The level of potassium in the blood rises slightly or is normal.
Hypokalemia (hypokalaemia) is a low level of potassium in your blood. Hypocalcemia (hypocalcaemia) is a low level of calcium in your blood. This can possibly result in cardiac dysrhythmias.
Your medical practitioner (doctor)will tell you this.
Some people think that it can.
Aldosterone is both responsible for absorption of sodium and excretion of potassium. If it is regulated by the level of potassium in blood, then we have negative feedback as high levels of aldosterone causes a decrease in potassium level in blood. If it is regulated by the level of sodium in blood, the story is just the opposite and we have positive feedback. -my own conclusion from several researches-
The level of potassium in the blood falls in the early stages of a paralytic attack.
If you have a low level of Potassium in the blood, you can eat foods such as parsley, dries apricots, chocolate, almonds, pistachios, potatoes, bananas, soybeans, and bran, not to mention the number of pills available on the market today.
