My potassium and other electrolyte levels are normal, but I am experiencing symptoms that resemble hypokalemia (low potassium), such as leg cramps, confusion, palpitations, chest pain, and fatigue. Could this be a pulmonary embolism or another underlying issue?
Even with normal potassium levels, these symptoms can have many causes, such as heart rhythm problems, medications, dehydration, or, less commonly, a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung arteries). You should consult your doctor promptly to determine the underlying cause and have your heart and lungs examined.
