Minnie, I know the weak and shaky feeling all too well. I am also on HBP meds. Not diuretics tho. I remember my Doc tellin me Gatorade wasn't the best choice for me. He said something about it being harder to digest and suggested something like Pedialyte or Pedialyte ice pops instead. It was also important to ingest some lean protein. And even though it IS frustrating, rest, rest, rest. It sure sounds like you have had a rough bout. So it may take awhile before you feel like yourself again.I have learned when coming off of a severe bout to eat smaller amounts more often. Kinda graze through the day. I work myself up from clear fluids, to a BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce & toast) diet to slowly re-introducing some protein. All the while having a glass of water going all day long. This sometimes takes a few days. Resting, (not my favorite thing..but necessary) is real important tho too.Take your time and I am sure you will get to feelin stronger.BQ
