Can low potassium cause panic attack?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly: Low potassium cannot cause classical panic or anxiety attacks. Low potassium, depending on how low, can cause cardiac arrhythmias or irregular heart beats. I guess i could see how feeling one's heart flutter or skip a beat could lead to anxiety. Also, worrying about the whole deal could make one very anxious. There are multiple causes for low potassium as well as treatments to correct it.
