Low potassium numb: Patients with low potassium (K) can have numbness and muscle spasms. But usually not I only one side. You need to find out what is causing lo K. Recommend you go to hyperaldosteronism@yahoogroups.com and tell them your story. They can help figure out what the problem is. In the meantime check with your Dr about the DASH eating plan which is a high K , low salt diet. Many times will correct lo K
