Could High Potassium Levels Cause Pain In Legs?
after a routine blood test dr. said my potasium was low so they asked me to double my prescription. after 2 days my legs hurt even while lying down. it was impossible to sleep, does this mean my potasium levels are too high now? I stopped the one pill at night and the next night had no leg pains.

deficiency can cause cramps, and high can also do so, please get it checked, as there are more serious side effects beyond this
