Hello,
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Discontinue diuretics or laxatives if you are using them.
-Use potassium-sparing diuretics if diuretic therapy is required.
-Treat diarrhea or vomiting if you have.
You should go to the emergency room for proper management of the situation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
