A member asked:
I've consistently had low k levels (around 3.2). could that level be causing fatigue, heart palpitations, and severe constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
