Will Increasing Potassium Level Treat Heart Murmur And Tachycardia Problem?

I believe I have a heart murmur and tachycardia. They both kind of appeared out of the blue and I am suspecting it is a result of a potassium deficiency, because I know I do not ingest enough potassium. Will increasing my potassium intake solve this issue?

Actually potasium deficiency can cause tachycardia which can cause mild heart nurmur.
My advice to you will be to correct your potassium levels and your complains and symptoms will disappear

Have a good health
