Exercise 21

Divya has always been overly concerned about her weight, even though she is considered physically attractive and fit by her peers. However, the prom is approaching, and she has resorted to the dangerous practice of using diuretics to "slim down" to fit in her gown. During gym class she suddenly became light-headed and had heart palpitations and was taken to the hospital. Her blood studies showed an electrolyte imbalance. Research diuretics and their connection to this case.
What electrolyte imbalance do you suspect from your research on diuretics?
