Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.Restrict salt and protein diet.
If you've APKD with CCF,consult your doctor in taking diuretics or potassium.
Both aren't advisable and cause serious side-effects.Sweating isn't an issue.
Kindly check your Hb,creatinine,RBS,LFT,electrolytes and platelets regularly.
Do an ultrasound-KUB and consult your nephrologist.
If you have any doubts,send your reports to me,as a direct question.
