Low potassium levels: If you have severe hypokalemia you can certainly have muscle weakness.Given the symptoms you describe, go to an emergency room as soon as possible to see what your potassium (k) level is and to receive treatment there if you need it. You also should see a nephrologist to see why you are troubled with low k levels.
