Laziness

Your body needs the proper amount of potassium for each cell. If your energy levels feel low, you may be lacking in potassium.

Weakness Or Muscle pain

Since potassium is essential for the smooth muscular contraction, having low potassium levels might result in all-day "aches and spasms."

Dizziness

Potassium levels fluctuate throughout the day, and a significant dip might cause your heartbeat to slow down and make you feel faint.

High Blood Pressure

Without adequate potassium, the walls of the blood vessels may tighten, which leads to hypertension, or high blood pressure.

Bloating

Low potassium levels make it difficult for your body to control sodium levels, which can lead to salt-induced bloating. Constipation is also the first sign of hypokalemia.

Conclusion

Some people might not even notice slight decreases in their blood potassium levels. There are various warning indicators to be aware of before the decline becomes severe. For better care, always consult your doctor.
