Low Potassium (Hypokalemia): Causes, Symptoms, Complications, and Holistic Management

Low potassium, medically known as hypokalemia, is a condition where blood potassium levels fall below 3.6 mmol/L. Hypokalemia is a medical condition characterized by lower-than-normal levels of potassium, specifically a serum concentration of less than 3.5 mEq/L (3.5 mmol/L). It most commonly occurs due to excessive potassium loss through the gastrointestinal tract or kidneys or when potassium abnormally shifts into the body’s cells. It often results from medications like diuretics, excessive fluid loss (vomiting or diarrhea), or kidney issues. While mild cases are asymptomatic, severe drops can be life-threatening and cause dangerous cardiac arrhythmias.
