What Is The Impact Of Low Potassium Level In Body?

I've been having dull, constant pains on the left side of my chest, but I can't really point out a specific spot in particular. Also, I feel like my vision and thought is pretty "cloudy". My potassium blood levels came back as 3.3 Thursday. I'm wondering though if it's dropping even more, and how dangerous this could be if the symptoms stay and/or get any worse.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
After going through your query, I can suggest you watch out for the following symptoms:
1. Weakness - generalized, or localized to limbs
2. Tingling and numbness
3. Constipation
4. Palpitations

However, it is not so low.
You can improve with supplements in diet like banana, tomato, oranges and peaches.
You have nothing to worry for now.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
I find this answer helpful
