A member asked:
Can panic attack cause low k+? i went to the er for kidney stone, they found low potassium @ 2.6. no explanation ever found. could stress/panic do it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Panic: not guilty: Anxiety/panic is a usual suspect in so many symptoms - this is rare. Low potassium may have been a factor in the stones. If you take laxatives, diuretics, asthma meds, insulin, some antibiotics, vomit alot, etc - it can lower K. Eat lots of dark green leafy vegetables. The best source. It can raise your potassium, if you eat lots of them. Best!
