                                Mild hypokalemia, or low potassium, often causes no symptoms, but severe deficiencies can trigger serious and potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias. While many Americans consume less than the recommended daily amount, deliberately raising potassium levels requires careful management to avoid dangerous overcorrection.
