Your potassium level is low normal. So iv you have symptoms of hypokalemia then its necessary to take potassium. Otherwise it will lead to life threatening problems. so you should take it as per your physician advice. Dont take it lightly. It is very necessary to maintain potassium level within normal range. On other side ig should not increase also. So follow your doctor.
