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.
Hyperkalemia is a relatively common disturbance of electrolytes. Most cases of hyperkalemia are mild and may not produce any symptoms at all. Typically, hyperkalemia that develops slowly over time produces fewer symptoms than a sudden rise in potassium levels. Usually, symptoms do not become apparent until potassium levels are very high (7.0 mEq/l or greater).
