[|Human|] I have been told I have low potassium and have been given pills for it... I passed out for a few seconds and hit my head and it required stitches.... I have vertigo a few months ago and am not sure if it was a "drop attack" or just the low potassium.... could they be related??? can diet changes help??
[|AI|]  Low potassium levels can cause severe and bad ventricular tachycardia like ectopy, pulseless VT, ventricular fibrillation. This can cause decrease blood supply to the heart and even to the brain. If left untreated can cause sudden cardiac death too. Vertigo may be because of ventricular arrhythmia. You seek cardiologist opinion and correct hypokalemia with diet rich in potassium. Citrous fruits, coconut water all contains good potassium.
