Best Answer

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.
