When we talk about hypokalaemia (e.g., from a channelopathy) as a cause of #SensoryOverload, many people think that a lab test will reliably reveal whether you lack potassium. So: no, lab tests are often unreliable for this. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
To add to the confusion, hyperkalaemic sensory overstimulation (sensory overload from too much potassium) can externally look similar to hypokalaemic sensory overstimulation (sensory overload from too little potassium).
As the paper states, "Potassium is predominantly intracellular; hence small shifts can cause large changes in the measured value. [...] clinicians must have a high-index of suspicion [...] when the laboratory values are not concordant with the clinical picture."

DAY 2:

It worked. I recovered. Approx. two teaspoons of Cream of Tartar in water, after one magnesium glycinate tablet, then off to bed.
