10 Hypokalemia Symptoms
Symptom #3: Arrhythmia
An abnormal heart rhythm is known as an arrhythmia. This term represents a group of conditions where the heartbeat is irregular, too slow, or too fast. Tachycardia occurs when the heart beat is more than 100 beats per minute while bradycardia occurs when the heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute.
Types of arrhythmia include bradyarrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, extra beats, supraventricular tachycardia, and more. Arrhythmia occurs when there are issues with the electrical conduction in the heart or electrolyte imbalances such as hypocalcemia or hypokalemia.
