Mine was way low, and my GP ran through all the symptoms which included heart problems, but when he got to weak muscles we both just laughed, how do you tell the difference between mg weak and potassium weak, at least we got a laugh out of itl
i eat at least 2 bannans a day also because of the severe diarreah - but also since you were talking about weak muscles from your potassium being low and how do you know - how do you know if your muscle weakness is from the mestinon - i take mestinon 90mg 4x's a day and 180mg long acting at night
