A member asked:

I've consistently had low k levels (around 3.2). could that level be causing fatigue, heart palpitations, and severe constipation?

Yes: Yes. Low potassium may cause many of the symptoms. The more important question is why do you have persistently low potassium levels? This needs to be evaluated.
