A member asked:
I have hypokalemia which is low potassium in my blood should i play soccer today or wait?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low potassium: You would be better off waiting for your potassium (k) levels to rise before you play soccer. The more important question is, why is your k low? Are you on any medications that would lower it, like diuretics? Do you have a low magnesium level? See a physician to get to the cause of your low k level. It is better to prevent a problem than treat it.
