Absolutely: Low potassium (or what we call, hypokalemia) can have a wide array of symptoms associated with it. Generally, they are in the constellation of weakness, fatigue, muscle cramping - but psychological symptoms have been reported. Contact your doctor immediately to advise on treatment and additional testing. CAUTION: Potassium is one of the elements that if you get too much, it can be disastrous.
