Sometimes taking diuretics (fluid pills) can cause a reduction in potassium levels. If you are taking diuretics, ask your doctor about foods that can replace the potassium, such as bananas or oranges. If not on a diuretic, you need to talk to your doctor and have him/her do some blood work to see what else may be going on. This can become serious if not treated.

How diuretics cause alkalosis?
Often when taking diuretics you are also prescribed Potassium(K). Because the most common "loop" diuretics cause you to pee out excess K. Alkalosis is a result of too much Bicarbonate (HCO3) or too little Hydrogen ion (H). Because of the processes and membranes of the kidney where the K goes the H follows. So if you are taking a loop diuretic and loosing too much K you are also loosing too much H resulting in alkalosis. This is not standard across the board for all diuretics and don't take K just because you are taking a diuretic - too much K can make your heart stop. It is a very fine balance.
