Question

What happens when your potassium levels are low?

Answer 1

Potassium:

1. Potassium is an important electrolyte that the body needs for the muscles, nerves, and heart to function properly.
2. Lower potassium levels (hypokalemia) lead to heart rhythm problems.
3. It can also lead to weakness, fatigue, constipation, and muscle cramps.
4. A slightly lower potassium level is not thought to cause such significant symptoms.
