Fed up

Hi everyone
Not going to lie I've had a few ( and I do feel bad for doing it ). I've seen the specialist today and my Potassium is 6.2. My consultant wants me to stop enalipril which helps my blood pressure to counter act the effects and of course stick to a rigorous diet. I'm not to sure. to top it off I can feel a gout attack coming on in my big toe. I guess that's just life. My specialist wants to get my potassium level under control before my catheters fitted which will happen in the next few weeks. I will get my blood pressure measured on Friday to see if anything happens. But I just find it so bizarre I've not been offered any counselling or help regarding financial assistance. I just feel there's no support I have to follow every thing up and book my own appointments and blood tests etc. Sorry for the moan guys x
