Every year DOT lays millions of cubic yards of asphalt and repairs tens of thousands of potholes.
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).
Causes of Hypokalemia. Typically, the potassium level becomes low because too much is lost from the digestive tract due to vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive laxative use. Sometimes too much potassium is excreted in urine, usually because of drugs that cause the kidneys to excrete excess sodium, water, and potassium (diuretics).
