I've been experiencing times when my breathing stops while I'm asleep, and my heart rate drops below 55, which sometimes makes me feel dizzy. I'm not very active, and my weight is normal. I'm wondering if these could be signs of a heart problem. Can you give me some advice on what might be happening?

View allI'm feeling pretty anxious because I've had this heavy feeling in my chest since yesterday. I went for an ECG and it showed Tall T waves. Is this something I should be really worried about? I'm attaching my ECGs, and the second one was done an hour after the first. Could this possibly be hyperkalemia because I had a couple of coconut waters and eggs? Would appreciate any clarity on this.
Tall T waves in an ECG can be a sign of hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in the blood. It can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. To lower your potassium levels, you can take medications like Kayexalate to help remove excess potassium from your body. The usual dosage is 15-60 grams orally 1-4 times a day. Additionally, you should avoid high potassium foods like coconut water and bananas. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
