Hi all!!
I started keto a couple weeks ago. I saw great benefits but in my second week (it was the same week I started my regular birth control pills, not sure if that has some to do with it) I started to have horrible tachycardia and my blood pressure went crazy. I was so scared that I left it. I bought magnesium and potassium but not sure what to do now.
I came back to my regular healthy carbs life, but really want to get all keto benefits again.
Any advice? Should I try a slower transition?
Thanks!!

Sounds like you had low sodium
I personally wouldn’t supplement potassium without a confirmed deficiency. Get that from your food. Or at least don’t aim to get to these numbers from supplements for sure.3
