I had bloodwork done for new job and my potassium & sodium levels was low. what does that mean?

It depends : How low? Having the actual values would be helpful. Thanks for providing the values. Your numbers are minimally low. I wouldn't be concerned. It's important to remember that our "normal" lab values were established by checking blood of a large group of mormons in utah. Some variation is acceptable. Hope this helps!
