Signs of low potassium levels…

Low potassium (hypokalemia) can affect your muscles, heart, and overall body function. Here are the most common signs to watch for:

1. Muscle Weakness & Cramps

Potassium is crucial for muscle function. Low levels can cause fatigue, cramps, or spasms.

2. Fatigue & Weakness

Feeling unusually tired or lethargic, even with enough rest, may signal low potassium.

3. Heart Irregularities

Palpitations, skipped beats, or an irregular heartbeat can occur because potassium helps regulate heart rhythm.

4. Constipation & Digestive Issues

Potassium is needed for smooth muscle contractions in the gut. Low levels may slow digestion, causing bloating or constipation.

5. Tingling or Numbness
