A member asked:
My potassium level is: 3,30 mmol/l (range: 3,50-5,50). in this case would i need to take some potassium pill, or this is not so low? thank you!

Diet or Pill: This is not so low and might correct with adding bananas or orange juice for a few days. Be sure your magnesium level was normal because this will need to be repleted with a pill and bot magnesium and potassium rechecked. Be sure to follow up with your doctor for another blood draw.
