A member asked:

Potassium 3.4 (3.5-5.0) can that cause pvcs? how do i get it to normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

K: Potassium level is dependent on the sensitivity of the machine used. A slightly low k may or may not be the cause of your pvc's as coffee and other stimulants can cause pvc. Orange juice is high in potassium and banana has potassium and you can use them to increase your level.
