Recognize potassium deficiency: These symptoms indicate that you need more potassium. Potassium deficiency is dangerous because it increases the risk of heart problems.
The muscle contracts more frequently and beats faster, which can result in dangerous cardiac arrhythmias. Only the treating doctor can diagnose a potassium deficiency and initiate the appropriate therapy. Whether a change in diet with more potassium-rich foods such as vegetables, nuts or potatoes is sufficient or whether potassium supplements are prescribed is at the doctor's discretion. The normal range is between 3.6-4.8 mmol/l.
