The cardiologist nurse called me with blood tests results for palpitations my potassium levels 3.4 it says it should be 3.5-5 so mine would be low?

Yes: You have low potassium aka hypokalemia. Low potassium levels are associated with palpitation and other cardiac rythym problems. Eat high potassium diets such as oranges, banana, coconut water etc to raise your potassium level
