St. Lucia hotels offer dramatic scenery and are usually beachfront. While these don't have the privacy of a villa, they do come with a lot of perks, including concierge or hotel staff services, access to pools and beaches, and many have restaurants, shops, and bars as well, like Rendezvous on Malabar Beach.
Early signs are nausea, diarrhea, and muscle weakness. As potassium levels increase, marked cardiac changes are observed in the electrocardiogram. Treatment of severe hyperkalemia includes oral administration of Kayexalate (sodium polystyrene sulfonate) and IV administration of sodium bicarbonate, calcium salts, and dextrose.
Sometimes people with hyperkalemia report nonspecific symptoms such as muscle weakness, tiredness, tingling sensations, or nausea. A slow heartbeat and weak pulse are more serious symptoms, since these may signal an effect on the electrical activity of the heart. Potassium is responsible for maintaining normal heart rhythm and hyperkalemia can have potentially life-threatening effects.
