What Causes Tingling Sensation In Legs And Arms While Having Low Potassium Levels?
I have always had a low potassium level. I went off my potassium last year and could not walk my legs were so heavy. I was on 30 meq s a day. when I started taking it again, I was able to walk but I still have tingling in my legs and arms. The doctor had put me back on 20 meqs a day. She checked my potassium level and it had went from 2.5 to 4.5 so she refused to increase it. What would be your professional opinion? r

Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
This potassium is fine but it could be caused by lack of some other nutrients such as magnesium or calcium so you should have these supplements. Other causes are neuropathies or diabetes so these should be evaluated.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
