Potassium is a chemical that is important to the function of nerve and muscle cells, including those in your heart. Your blood potassium level is normally 3.6 to 5.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). In hypokalemia, the level of potassium in the blood is too low. A low potassium level has many causes but usually results from vomiting, diarrhea, adrenal gland disorders, or the use of diuretics. Hyperkalemia is the medical term that describes a potassium level in your blood that's higher than normal. If high potassium happens suddenly and you have very high levels, you may feel heart palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, or vomiting. This is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical care.
