Potassium Chloride- used to prevent or to treat low blood levels of potassium (hypokalemia). Potassium levels can be low as a result of a disease or from taking certain medicines, or after a prolonged illness with diarrhea or vomiting.
Parsnips are high in potassium.
Onions are low in potassium, sodium and phosphorus.
Potassium can loose electron easily . Comparatively Lithium have high ionisation energy and low level of loosing electron while absorbing light energy.
False
One feels light-headed while fasting due to hypoglycemia; a drop in serum glucose levels, also known as low sugar. It is possible that anemia; low blood count, caused the light-headedness.

What causes low potassium and what are the dangers of having low potassium in your body
no 126/59 is not truly low.
No, ice chewing does not cause one to have low potassium. If you have low potassium, you need to talk with your doctor.
Potassium has a low ionization energy.
Potassium is an essential mineral that is needed by the human body for the heart to beat properly and for other muscles to contract normally. Potassium also helps to regulate blood pressure. It is commonly referred to as an electrolyte when you get your lab results back from the doctor.The medical term for low potassium in the body is hypokalemia. Low potassium can be quite dangerous and can even cause cardiac arrest or life-threatening drops in blood pressure. Most causes of low potassium involve dehydration or lower than normal hydration levels. These include:Chronic kidney failureDiarrheaVomitingAlcoholism (causes chronic dehydration)Overuse of diureticsOveruse of laxativesAnorexiaBulimiaAll of the causes of low potassium listed above make the body lose more water than is healthy. When the body loses too much water, it loses too much potassium in the process. Other causes of low potassium include:Diabetes, especially if one is taking insulinCertain classes of antibiotics such as aminoglycosidesLow magnesiumDrugs such as bronchodilatorsCushing's diseaseIf you are only slightly low in potassium, the symptoms can be so mild you may not make the connection that they are linked to low potassium. You may urinate more frequently, have a slight tingling in your muscles, experience nausea, mild to moderate constipation, bouts of depression, increased thirstiness, abdominal bloating, and you may feel light-headed or slightly dizzy at times. You may also experience a general feeling of fatigue and irritability.If your potassium is moderately low, the three main symptoms are the following:General muscle weaknessMuscle cramps and muscle aches, especially in the legsHeart palpitations and irregular heart beatIf your potassium is severely low, you may have cardiac arrest, mental confusion, delirium, psychosis, muscle paralysis, and you may pass out.Low potassium is very serious. You can take potassium supplements or a good multivitamin to avoid low potassium. You can also increase your potassium by eating foods high in potassium. These include beans, fish, nuts, yogurt, and dark green leafy vegetables. Fruits also have high levels of potassium, especially apricots, figs, and bananas.
Low sodium and low potassium can lead to an imbalance of electrolytes and kidney failure. Treatment of low sodium and low potassium can be treated with dietary changes and medication.
Low serum potassium (hypokalemia ) occurs when serum potassium falls below 3.0 mM
Potassium has a low electronegativity.
The ionization enthalpy of K and Cs is less than that of Li and therefore these metals easily lose electrons on exposure to light than lithium.That's the reason potassium and cesium are used in photoelectric cells rather than Cs.
Parsnips are high in potassium.
