A member asked:
Blood potassium level of 3.4...how long will it take to restore to normal levels by eating more potassium rich foods and how much do i need to add?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LOW PATASSIUM: It depends on the cause of the deficiency. If you are on blood pressure medication it can take a while to get it back up. A few bananas or cups of orange juice can be helpful.
