Hi.surgery has not caused low levels of potassium.do not take potassium supplements alongwith valsartan, I will advise to consult your dr. and get an ECG done and also blood investigations, especially S. Creatinine levels.
However, these symptoms may be due to estrogen deficiency also after total hysterectomy.
Thanks.
