Low sodium levels cause High potassium and High sodium Levels cause Low potassium. If a person has be diagnosed with HIGH potassium then greater than 5.0 mg then they should go to their doctor.

If you continue to have the muscle spasms, you need to have your doctor examine you to determine the cause of them.
