Abstract :

 Hypokalemia is common problem encountered in day to day practice. Symptoms seldom occurs unless the plasma K+ concentration is <3mmol/l.. Fatigue, myalgias and muscle weakness of lower extremities are common complaints. More severe hypokalemia leads to progressive weakness,hypoventilation due to respiratory muscle involvement and eventually ending in complete paralysis. We report a case of mild hypokalemia with ECG changes mimicking ischemia i.e., T–wave inversions from V1 to V6 without U waves and ST segment depression which got normalised after correcting hypokalemia.
