You're welcome! Even tho statistically you're at a low risk for heart
disease you can still have heart rhythm disorders. For your peace of
mind you should see a doc, he/she could rule out irregular heart beats
or rhythm quickly. I've seen a doc many times for "false alarms" and
have never regretted it. Better safe than sorry! That is a huge amount
of water you're drinking. It's possible that overconsumption of
potassium can cause problems. I'd suggest getting your pottasium from
natural sources: fruits, veggies, etc.
