Low potassium levels can affect your muscles and may cause cramping, leg pain, muscle weakness and fatigue. Because of the relationship between electrolytes and your body's water level, you also may experience severe thirst, frequent urination or constipation.
Your kidneys work to keep the electrolyte concentrations in your blood constant despite changes in your body. For example, when you exercise heavily, you lose electrolytes in your sweat, particularly sodium and potassium. These electrolytes must be replaced to keep the electrolyte concentrations of your body fluids constant. So, many sports drinks have sodium chloride or potassium chloride added to them.
