Hypokalemia
Hypokalemia is a condition characterized by low potassium levels in the body. Potassium is an important mineral that plays an important role in many functions, such as kidney operation and cell membranes. In addition, this mineral is responsible for muscle contractions. Muscle tissues release the substance during exercises to help dilate blood vessels as well as increase blood flow to your muscles, which improves performance and gets rid of harmful side products. Hypokalemia occurs when the potassium level drops below 3 millimoles/liter. Typical symptoms include muscle spasms and weakness. [4]
