A member asked:
My potassium is still a 2.9, no idea why. and still having chest pains. what is wrong with me? dr had no idea.

See below: Low potassium doesn't cause chest pain. Low potassium is from diuretics, diarrhea, vomiting, or ng drainage. If none are present, you presumably have an aldosterone secreting adenoma that should be sought.
