Send a textPotassium, Pain & A&EWelcome back to Who’s Tom & Dick.Today’s episode is a little different. It’s personal. It’s honest. And it’s something so many people quietly go through but rarely talk about openly.This episode dives into potassium levels — what they mean, why they matter, and how a simple blood result can suddenly make you look at your health in a completely different way. When numbers start creeping up, questions start racing. Is it serious? Is it heart-related? Is it medication? Is it something more?But this isn’t just about blood tests.It’s about that dull ache on the right-hand side of your abdomen. The discomfort. The bloating. The worry that something isn’t quite right. And the decision we’ve all faced at some point — “Do I ignore this… or do I go to A&E?”In this episode, we talk openly about a visit to the local A&E department, the examination process, the conversations with doctors, and hearing those three letters: IBS.We break down:• What potassium actually does in the body • Why levels can rise • When it becomes dangerous • How medications can influence it • The difference between anxiety and emergency • And what IBS really is — and isn’tMost importantly, this episode is about reassurance. About understanding your body. About asking questions. And about not suffering in silence.Because sometimes it’s not just the physical pain — it’s the uncertainty that weighs heavier.If you’ve ever stared at blood test results and Googled yourself into panic… this one’s for you.Let’s get into it.#HeartTransplant#eatingdisorder#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#IBS#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#prostatecancer#Aid's#prostateCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com
