Sorry Vikki, but I would not recommend increasing the potassium.

Rob's wife is taking baby asprin, which makes me think "heart attack", so she should be careful, if this is the case, with potassium supplements. At 550 mg she's getting a good dose as it is.

Potassium deficiency usually causes dizziness, fatigue and that 'blah' feeling - it's the lack of cal/mag that leads to the leg cramps.
