Low potassium in recent blood wprl, how freaked out should i be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low potassium: Low potassium is pretty common and may be easily corrected by eating foods rich in potassium, like bananas. Very low potassium can cause problems, though, do please follow up with your doctor to be sure your levels are just a little low and not dangerously low.
