Hi,
The usual cause of low potassium is from excess excretion or cellular changes at metabolic pathways from various chemical interactions.
The symptoms are of utmost importance to co-relate the issue, as the mere report cannot be stamped for a serious problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
