1 Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a situation that may arise during pregnancy due to the extreme muscle weakness, due to low potassium level, for a short period of time.  Hypokalemia can cause the cardiac complication known as cardiac dysrhythmias (irregular heartbeats).
The majority of potassium is stored within the cells, so changes in the small concentration of potassium in the bloodstream can potentially have serious health consequences. Potassium is also present in the fluids of the gastrointestinal tract, so illnesses that cause diarrhea can cause hypokalemia, or low potassium. Diarrhea is a well-known cause of hypokalemia. Stomach acid has a high concentration of potassium, in the form of potassium chloride. Potassium is important in the stomach for the production and secretion of acid, which helps in the digestion of the foods we eat.
