[|Human|] My name is Joni Hall I am 57 just during a routine check up, the Dr. found I had a HB of 39 upward to 42. Went to my physician today my heart beat was 62. The Dr. ordered some XRays & blood work up.. Found out I have low pottasium, he ordered a pottasium, should more testing be done such as an echo be done?? This is not the first time my pottasium has been low, so confused
[|AI|]  Hello, Joni! Thank you for your question. I would recommend a therapy for potassium supplementation and a close monitoring of potassium levels, at least for some days. As about the heart beat, my opinion is that you should get a 24-hour Holder rhythm monitoring. This would help us to make a differential between low potassium levels and rhythm or conduction disturbances. As the cause of the low heart beat. I hope I was helpful. Take care. Feel free to ask again
