I feel like crap? Can’t figure out electrolytes

Been on this 4 days for health reasons and I’m definitely in ketosis according to the urine strips. I did keto a few years ago for about 3 months and remember feeling great. I feel like I’m dying this time. Fatigued and massive headache. Pretty sure I’m screwing up the electrolytes. I don’t know how to know if I’m getting enough or what I need more of?

I’m taking two mag glycinate tabs per day (around 300mg total) and I saw online someone said to add 1/8 tsp cream of tartar for potassium (but it only has like 400mg potassium?) and I think a tsp of salt to 1l water? I’m doing that but it doesn’t seem to be enough? The opinions on what to take and how much of each is so confusing (and I’m a healthcare professional and even I’m finding it difficult to figure out). I can’t find electrolyte sachets very readily where I am atm so i have to make my own. Please help! 😩
