The widow of Johnny Hallyday would suffer from hypokalaemia, for which she should have been hospitalized urgently.
- Potassium is a chemical element existing in the form of an ion in the body, that is to say a constituent carrying an electrical charge.
- It is present in the cells, but also in the blood where it plays important roles.
According to Closer information, Laeticia Hallyday would have been admitted urgently to the American hospital in Neuilly. She would have been placed there in intensive care because of hypokalaemia.
Abnormal decrease in potassium level
“Immediately placed on a drip, Jalil Lespert’s companion must now rest so that her state of health improves”, can we read in the magazine people. “When she left the hospital the next day at the end of the afternoon, Laeticia Hallyday returned to her property in Marnes-la-Coquette, always alongside Jalil Lespert who did not let her go. She should go to her medical appointment this Friday, March 25 and carry out his examinations as initially planned”.
What is hypokalemia? Simply an abnormal decrease in potassium levels in the body. This fall can have several causes, but is generally due to vomiting, diarrhea or adrenal disorders. “Sometimes excess potassium is excreted in the urine, usually due to diuretic drugs that stimulate renal excretion of sodium, water and potassium,” says the MSD.
muscle paralysis
A mild decrease in potassium levels is usually asymptomatic. But if it is important, can lead to fatigue, weakness, contractions, even paralysis of the muscles. Heart rhythm disorders can also appear, as well as kidney problems (which causes a more frequent need to urinate and drink large amounts of water, Editor’s note).
“Usually, potassium levels can be restored by ingesting potassium-rich foods or by taking dietary supplements by mouth,” says the MSD.
