A member asked:
Can high potassium cause chest pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Very high potassium can cause bad heart rhythms, fainting or death. Usually high ends of normal or slightly higher doesn't do this, but evaluation may be warranted in any event. The chest pain may be unrelated to your potassium.
