Lately, I've been experiencing palpitations and anxiety. I suspected I might have coronary heart disease, and after a hospital checkup, I was diagnosed with coronary heart disease due to potassium deficiency. What are the symptoms of coronary heart disease caused by low potassium?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Jianbin
When this condition occurs, the body becomes weak and symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, and respiratory infections may appear. Severe potassium deficiency in the heart can lead to cardiac dysfunction, heart failure, and even risk of death. Coronary heart disease generally does not cause potassium deficiency; it may instead be caused by medications such as diuretics. Closely monitor your physical condition, and if any problems arise, immediately communicate with your doctor.
