I'm a bit concerned about my potassium levelit came back as 3.10. I know the normal range is between 3.50 and 5.10. Could you help me figure out how to raise it? Should I be worried about this?
Potassium level of 3.10 is below the normal range of 3.50-5.10. To increase it, you can consume foods rich in potassium such as bananas, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, and spinach. Additionally, you can take potassium supplements like Slow-K with a dosage of 20 mEq-40 mEq per day, as prescribed by your doctor. It is important to address low potassium levels as it can lead to muscle weakness, fatigue, and abnormal heart rhythms.
