Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Low potassium levels are serious. Low potassium is known to myalgia,
muscle cramps, abnormal heart rhythms,
flaccid paralysis,
constipation, etc. It needs to be corrected slowly, as increased potassium is much more dangerous.
2. If you are getting any muscle cramps or pain, then you could be having low potassium. Diuretics or
water pill are one of the commonest causes of low potassium. You need to discuss with your doctor regarding this. Other medication maybe added for blood pressure replacing the diuretics.
3. Diet rich in bananas, dark leafy greens, potatoes, yoghurt, fish, avocadas etc could help in improving it. Slow increase in potassium is necessary as
hyperkalemia can cause instant death. If potassium is too slow, slow infusion will be given. Not to worry, continue pills as prescribed and improve your diet.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
