Hey Ladybug, It sounds like a problem I once had. I was asking myself some of the same questions. I elevated my legs & feet plus took Motrin to relieve the swelling. I ended up going to the hospital & my potassium was extremely low. They kept me for a couple of nights & gave me potassium through the IV. I am taking prescribed medication & my doctors think that helped contribute to my potassium loss. When I left the hospital I had to take 3 potassium pills a day for 2 weeks.
