Hi guys, i had a blood test on Monday to as doctor wanted to test U&Es

Serum sodium level 135 mmol/L [133.0 - 146.0]

Serum potassium level 3.5 mmol/L [3.5 - 5.3]

Serum urea level 3.2 mmol/L [2.5 - 7.8]

Serum creatinine level 74 umol/L [45.0 - 84.0]

It's been marked as satisfactory no further action, but just wondering if i should be concerned that the potassium has dropped to right on the borderlibe at 3.5? Sodium is the lowest ive had it too, but in range

I am on Indapamide 2.5 mg and would be happy with tour readings - particularly the sodium as my readings hover around 130. Indapamide is a diuretic mainly reduces sodium but is the only drug that keeps my systolic BP down in the 120`s. I am 88 and have been on BP drugs for the last 40 years. Regards.
