How Does Low Muscle Enzyme Affect The Body?

My doctor s nurse just called me and told me my blood workup showed I had low muscle enzymes and low on potassium. What does low muscle enzymes do to my body, my heart, my neuropathy and my spine which is bad shape. Is there a cure or does it get worse. I am supposed to take two of my potassium pills and then take another blood test in ten days
