Hypokalaemia (low potassium): It is a condition in which the serum concentration of potassium is below normal. Inadequate dietary intake of potassium, chronic kidney disease, use of medication (such as diuretics or antibiotics), and loss of gastrointestinal fluids through diarrhoea, vomiting or laxative use could be the causes of hypokalaemia. Symptoms include weakness, muscle pain, constipation, palpitations, tingling or numbness.
