I've had a blood test which shows I have low potassium levels. My GP wants to see me about it. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks, D

i think low potassium levels can affect the heart. my ex has regular blood tests as one of the drugs he takes for his heart condition affect potassium levels and they have to keep a check on this.
probably not much help to u.

I've just had to have a blood test to check my potassium levels as mine were low. I don't think it is necessarily a major concern because it can be quite easily controlled.

In my case I think my levels were low because I had been throwing up constantly for a couple of days. If you do a search on google you should get some information.
