Hypokalemia (Low Potassium) – Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis & Treatments

Abnormal Heart Rhythm

If your heart suddenly beats faster, harder, or skips a beat, then it might be a possible sign of hypokalemia. Also known as heart palpitation, abnormal heart rhythm is caused when a low level of potassium affects the regulation of your cardiovascular system. It leads to the failure to produce normal nerve impulses, thus causing different heart issues. However, this is also a common cause for more serious conditions, so make sure to consult your healthcare provider for better diagnosis. [3]
