Metoprolol 50mg 2x daily. benicar (olmesartan) hct 20/12.5 1x daily. potassium level 3.0. how dangerous is this?

Low potassium: Your potassium is too low. It can lead to cardiac arrhythmias. If it gets lower, it can cause muscle weakness and paralysis. Please supplement it under a doctor's supervision (too much is even worse than too little).
