Low potassium

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any knowledge or experience of low potassium. I had blood tests on Monday. Had them because of fainting the previous week and a pain in my left side. Today the practice sent me the results and said they were satisfactory and that was it, so because of the ‘satisfactory’ I asked for a copy of the results and saw that potassium was a little low at 3.2. I am peri menopausal and assumed that some of the symptoms I’ve been having were because of that. I’ve been having palpitations for quite a while, along with muscle twitching and leg pains. I had been exercising probably about 7 hours or so before I fainted and I don’t do a lot of exercise generally! I do have low blood pressure too, so thought it was that until I knew about the low potassium. I’d be really grateful if anyone knows anything about electrolytes or has any experience of low potassium. Thank you
