Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic
Low potassium levels may occur due to incidental finding. Although they carry significance but in a other wise healthy person minor variations can occur without any reason.
The dizziness, numbness on lips or mouth you are having may be due to some anxiety. You are having the symptoms in episodic manner and it is associated with confusion so I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for opinion. Hope this helps you.
Thanks
