A member asked:
My bloodtest showed my potassium chloride level was 3.2. is it causing my heart palpitations? ekg was fine. racing heart causing anxiety and insomnia.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potassium: levels can be bad for arrhythmia of the heart, with low levels liable to cause more rhythm problems and issues with muscle spasms. At that level K 3.2 it should not be too bad. Eat more bananas and drink more pineapple juice.
