A member asked:
Why would eating bananas and zucchini cause severe lower back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say/depends,: This can be due to many possibilities, not the least of which is high potassium or hyperkalemia. Bananas are high in potassium and zucchini and other vegetables can have some also. Also if you're taking an ACE inhibitor, the potassium in your blood could be high. These cause muscle weakness and other symptoms so it would be good to see your doctor and get tested as soon as you can. Good luck!
